Detrimental effects of lime (Calcium carbonate)?

Hey,I was researching an agriculture project for school, where they put lime on the soil surface which is meant to help make the soil better for pasture growth. One question asked for the legal, ethical and welfare issues which this trial could raise.Are there any bad things that this could do to the environment? All I could think of is air pollution. I was thinking that it would be bad if it went into the water supply but it turns out that it's actually really good for the environment! gt;=OAny help would be much appreciated. Thank you =)

Answer:

Go by size until you know your lime and then by experience. They should be round. Bears lime is larger and should be left on the tree a little longer to sweeten up, than you Mexican/Key Lime which you want a little bitter for cooking and Margarita. If it's a young tree, pick your Mexican lime at about 1-1 1/4., your bears at about 1 1/2 Then try them and see how you like them and whether you want tlo let them go a little longer.
