Side dressing hydrated lime will work about as fast as anything. Then there is liquid lime that comes in 2.5 gallon jugs that is sidedressed and you can also foliar spray sodium bicarbonate, expensive but fast acting in the plant. I have used all the above at one time or another but obviously planning ahead is the best ting to do... Bob.

A friend has an area planted with winter spinach which he forgot to add lime to prior to planting.  The pH is quite low (4.3) and he is starting to see the effects of this on the plants.  The question is:  How best to raise the pH with growing plants in the ground.  He is considering side-dressing with either quick-acting lime or wood ash.  Does anyone have any other recommendations?  Reservations?  Can either of these be used as foliar sprays, and would this be preferable? 
Thanks!
