Default Acid Soil

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

This morning I gave mine 70g per sq.m of calcified seaweed
Raking it in afterwards.
It's better than lime.
