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?

Tx

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.

What does he want to do with it? Eat it or bury a body?
