Default Acid Soil

The soil on my tiny veg patch has become very acid through application
of garden compost over many years.


I'd be surprised if the application of good garden compost would have
that effect.

The top surface has a green sheen
to it when dry which I assume to show an acid condition?

What do I do to quickly bring the condition to, say neutral?

I expect I will be told to add lime but how much to start with?
