It can be applied anytime the ground isn't frozen, it would help to time it
right before rain to help wash it in.

It is not very important, especially if you are putting down limestone
which takes years to act. Get a pH test kit and monitor it.
Some plants really like a sweet soil. Clematis, lilac (Syringa L.) and a few others.
Lime will also help keep moss and mushrooms out of your lawn. In
fact moss in the lawn is a telltale that I use to tell if I have enough.
If you grow potatoes, keep the lime away from them!

So you can add too much lime, right?
