Default Lime-garden,ground or hydrated?
The message
from contains these words:

Put very simply, ground limestone is used for "sweetening the soil"
and hydrated lime (hot lime) is used for sterilising the soil. Ground
limestone is always the cheaper product but not because it's inferior,
its just quarried differently.

Hydrated lime is manufactured, not quarried.
