I normally use pelletized lime though, twice a year, here in central

Check that. I'll bet you applied "Pelletized limeSTONE". It's
commonly available at big box stores. It's made from ground up
seashells and is very slow to dissolve. You really want hydrated lime
from a place that sells tile supplies. It's messy but it really is a
base, chemically.

Should you warn him about how he can fry plant material with quick lime,
or just let him find out the hard way?
