If I could modestly raise the pH to 5.8, I would be happy. I agree with a blatant dump could have adverse affects. But adding lime seems pretty docile in relation, IDK.

I plan on getting the dolomite lime pelletized and adding this fall and adding the recommended rate on soil sample suggestion and tilling it in deep. In the spring, I will continue my compost addition and call it good.

Truthfully, I have not experienced any short comings to the night shades I plant in these beds. They all do well, and ppl are "amazed" at the vigor and production. I think the added compost is a nice additive. I measure by doing several drive by's at the community garden that has maybe 3-400 plots. My plants and tomatoes are always in better shape.

I hope I don't screw things up.

Then dont mess with it.
