Default De-liming soil

Sorry Janet, but political correctness really has infected gardening, like
so many other activities. time for a rant.

For example, in the old books alpine gardens used to be considered an
interesting challenge. Nowadays, I suppose that, notwithstanding hosepipe
bans, and if an ex-Sheffielder is still allowed to comment on Mancunian
rainfall (a nonrenewable resource of course), a rockery in that fair city
might well attract a bit of neighbourly tut-tutting.

In fact my unanswered question was quite straightforward and politically
neutral: knowing that crops tend to deplete the vegetable plot of lime,
which are the best ones to plant if that's what you want to achieve?

Regards

In reply to Janet, there's nothing terribly politically incorrect

about
trying to grow things that are a bit way out for the environment you
have.
Otherwise, you could just let those lush indigenous weeds take over
completely.


So sorry to have upset you by offering advice, it won't happen again.
