Lime, when ?

[JPS]

Is there a set stage to use lime? And I don't mean 'after every 3rd harvest', I mean before sowing or after cultivating or something like that ?

Reason I ask is because I kinda forgot to use lime 2 times now, and when I look at the fields after sowing I see it needs lime, I put it on, and the field state doesn't change...

Do you play with seasons perhaps? Seasons added some limitation for when lime can be used.
It definitly works after plowing or cultivating a field.
