Hmmm....this is the problem. I am in Australia, weather is good, etc. But
the Lime is in a pot because it is a small patio created from the end of a
driveway which I closed off with a fence; therefore no soil - pots only. The
poor lime has to stay where it is, I am only trying to feed it but any pack
of fertilizer only advises about trees in ground.
Thanks for your help,

There is some good information on container growing at this site:

My package of citrus/avocado fertilizer suggests 1/4 C four times a
year. I sprinkle it around the soil and then mix it in using a little
hand cultivator then I water well. The trees seem to be doing ok. Only
a couple lemons so far - no limes yet on that tree but it's still pretty
small.
