Late autumn is the best time for liming the substrate. There are usually no leaves left on the trees, so we minimize the risk of damage to plants by calcium fertilizer, which could burn them.We start liming the substrate in windless weather.If the pH in the garden is very low, we can use lime in the form of an oxide.
It works quickly, but quite aggressively, therefore it is safer to use carbonate lime, which, although it does not deacidify the soil so quickly, is safer to use, because calcium is released for a long time. It is worth mentioning that sudden changes in pH are detrimental to both plants and microorganisms.
A much better practice is to spread the de-acidification of the substrate over time.Instead of fertilizing with large doses of lime every few years, it is safer to fertilize with lime every two years, but in smaller doses.
