It is not very important, especially if you are putting down limestone
which takes years to act. Get a pH test kit and monitor it.
Some plants really like a sweet soil. Clematis, lilac and a few others.
Lime will also help keep moss and mushrooms out of your lawn. In
fact moss in the lawn is a telltale that I use to tell if I have enough.
If you grow potatoes, keep the lime away from them!

So you can add too much lime, right?
