Hi John
Use of lime is rarely necessary for vegetables unless you are on really acid soil, in which case you can grow wonderful blueberries! Slightly acid soil means less scab on potatoes too. Around here the soil is based on limestone so tends to be alkaline (up to pH 8.5, still growing great vegetables), and anywhere on limestone or chalk should never need lime. If your pH is below 6 you may need to apply some – ask your neighbours if they use lime – otherwise I would not worry.
