if a soil is too acidic what should you add to it?

Answer 1

Lime which is alkaline but you can get big bags from most builders merchants. They use it for lime mortar. That will be a fraction of the cost of a little bag in a garden centre.

Answer 2

You should add powdered lime. It looks like chalk and is alkaline (opposite of acidic). Any decent garden center should have multiple products that fit this bill, and it shouldn't be expensive. They'll also tell you the best way to apply it and how much to use.

Note: You should absolutely, positively wear safety goggles and gloves when handling powdered lime. It can burn sensitive tissues quite easily.

Answer 3

add lime 2 the soil

If you want to make your soil less acidic you want to raise the pH, not lower it. Hydrated or Agriculture lime will raise soil pH, but it isn't instantaneous. It takes most of the season for you to see any results from an application of lime. The amount you use depends on a soil test and how much you want to raise the pH.
