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.


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.

I till mine into my rows with the fertilize right before I set out my plants. It will dissolve and go to work quickly each time it rains or you irrigate,as will the 13-13-13 fertilizer I'd use the entire 40 lb bag of lime in a 10 X 4 raised bag.
