Adding Lime to Salad Cold Frame

Hi Garden "Scientest",

Built a new cold frame and transplanted some Black Seeded Simpson seedlings that I started about 5 weeks ago. Kept some of the soil for testing and just found it to be a little akaline. Since I know that lettuce likes acidic soil, I was thinking about adding some lime to the cold frame.

I was thinking about the possibility of adding it for "instant results" and came up with the following options:

1. Add some lime dust to the watering can and sprinkle it right in.

2. Just add some pelletized lime by sprinkling it into the frame and then watering.

What do you think would be the best way?

Thanks in advance,

Wayne
