    Lime
    Lime is sometimes added to compost piles to increase pH. However, unless you are seeking a high-pH compost it is unlikely you need to add lime. Compost piles become acidic in the initial stages as organic acids are formed. However, as the composting process continues, the pH returns to a balanced state. If you add lime, an odour may occur because of the formation of ammonia gas.
