Hi here is ur answer ..
The most common way to raise the pH of soil is to add pulverized limestone to the soil. Limestone acts as a soil acid neutralizer and consists of either calcium and magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate. These are called dolomitic limestone and calcitic limestone respectively. The first thing that needs to be done is a soil test to see how acidic the soil actually is. You want your soil pH to be around 7.0, or neutral. Once you have run the soil test and have the results, you will know which kind of pulverized limestone to add as a soil acid neutralizer. Once you know the kind of soil acid neutralizer to add to your soil, apply the lime according to the instructions given to you by the garden center. Never apply more than necessary. Making sure you know what causes acid soil is important, but be careful not to add too much limestone in your efforts to correct it. If you end up with alkaline soil, you could have other problems like iron, manganese and zinc deficiencies, which also won’t support life. Further, you could end up with an overgrowth of bacteria in the soil, which can kill those things that spend a long time underground, like potatoes.
i hope it helps u buddy ✌✌

To treat the soil when it is acidic either by acidic rain or by the fertilisers we used an antacid like limestone ( CaCO3 ) or some time Slaked lime [ Ca ( OH )2 ] .
