Now my question : Do you need to add lime to a peat based mix that will be used for potting up and growing seedlings to the point they are ready to plant out or put into a larger pot? Do you need it when you are not going to grow to the fruit stage in the mix? Does the acidity harm the basic plant at that stage?
Actually, that was three questions, but thanks for the answers.

I use pro-mix for my seedlings. I don't use any lime until they go into their permanent
home in the spring, usually in containers.
