Default Sweet lime

My new gardener asked me where to get "sweet lime".

I'm not familiar with that fruit.

Anybody in the LA/Santa Monica area know where
he could try?

Also: one of the Web sites I visited s aid there can be
confusion between "sweet lime" and "sweet lemon".

Anybody clarify?

I believe your sweet lime is finely powdered lime used in cement
mixing & farming.

It is dirt cheap at $3 per 30 Lbs. It is used in Gardens to change
the PH

in the alkali direction. You can buy it at your local Fleet Farm
store in WI.
