At the community garden some gardeners use lime on the veggie leaves. Does
this deter insects?
Will this affect the taste? Also will it do any harm to the plant?
Thank you

I wouldn't put lime on a plant, however i find that if there is an
invasion of ants that if i draw a fine line of lime around the area i
want to protect, the ants will not cross it.
