    Default Anyone have experience using lime?

    Newbie here.
    I am in the process of trying to repace a 18x33 above ground. Problem is with all the rain we have gotten I can't seem to dry out the hole. Has anyone used Lime to dry out the ground? I am wondering if it would be bad for the soil or possibly be bad for the liner.

    If you mean:
    + you want to fill the area with ground limestone or limestone sand . . . that would be fine.

    + you are thinking about 'slaked lime' -- calcium hydroxide -- and you are thinking that you can sprinkle that on, and dry the hole . . . then, no.
