You might check the pH of the Ag lime to find out if it is alkaline or neutral. Start with a tablespoon a week and stop in the week the pH reaches 5.5. The Ag lime breaks down slowly so when it reaches 5.5 the pH is still rising.

Tony, the city water at your location is slightly alkaline. Consequently you will also raise the pH slightly every time you water.
