Folks, I am confused about the different kinds of lime referenced in this and other posts. What is the difference between using:

-- Agricultural lime (calcitic lime) - a post says "Ag lime is finely ground limestone(calcium carbonate)"
-- Dolomite lime - pelletized or powdered
-- Hydrate lime (calcium hydroxide)
-- Wood ashes used as a liming agent

Are some of these better for containers or for gardens?
