Can I clean my old chicken run area with garden lime

I want to clear the run I used to use and have heard that lime is good, advice please. I will seperate that area for a few days then want to re use it, any further suggestions although it's fairly clean as my hens are free range and only went in to lay thier eggs sometimes

Hydrated lime helps to reduce the worm burden and correct acid pH. I don't know if garden lime is the same thing. There was another post on about this but I can't remember the outcome.

Where can I buy that? I rang McCaskies and they said they had no lime but I may have asked the wrong question. I remember reading a post too but not sure!!Thanks
