Add your lime this fall and the rest next spring prior to planting

Thanks for the advice. I will call the farmer's market to see if they have a 50# bag for application this fall and also like the idea to give a nice sprinkle in the spring.
I figure this is a baseline Ph of sorts, as I have never added lime or base material. From a compost/green sand 70/30 mix, seems rather unlikely to see such a low number., quite shocked. Primarily tomatoes have been grown in most of the raised beds, so maybe tomatoes have something to do with lowering Ph? (maybe I should be more diligent about ones that fall off the vine and lay amist the soil). My native is modeling clay and acidic.
Calcitic Lime.... thx
