Yes and no. It all depends on what ag lime you use. If you were to use dolomite lime the PH will rise still. If you use calcium carbonate it will bring the PH down to 7.2 - 7.5

Why you may ask? its because calcium carbonate has a buffer capacity in it to balance the PH and keep it stable. The extra magnesium in dolomite lime will not allow the PH to drop to keep it high. There is very little buffer capacity in dolomite lime.

You can't screw things up with calcium carbonate lime. Only if the product is a very fine mesh and has natural calcium hydroxide in the source.

Cheers Don.
