re: Tips for my raised garden

Till in some 13-13-13 fertilizer and some pellitized lime. The lime will raise the pH, and this lime from Tractor Supply has magnesium and calcium which will also prevent blossom end rot on your tomatoes. Using compost, chicken shite, and pine shavings has your soil pH way off, I'd just use 13-13-13 fertilizer. Test your pH. I am 100% positive it's below 7 and to acidic.

I tested soil about 10 years ago for my sod and the results were ph 5.5

I haven't used lime but will in my raised garden this year. I wonder how much to use per raised bed, say OPs size garden? Maybe half the bag or would that still be way too much? Mine is a 10x4 raised bed. Also with lime, do we need to go ahead and put in the ground now? I'll be putting in my plants in about 3 weeks.
