down the road said I should put lime on my garden if I think the soil is depleted. I put some on last fall and tilled it into the soil. I did see a difference in how healthy my plants looked this spring, but then the draught came. I do have a soil ph meter around here somewhere, I haven't seen it in ages though. I'm suppose to get sheep manure from my Brethren neighbor, he said it will really help the garden.
