Other Information
![Soil pH is a deep topic, so we’ll just scratch the [soil] surface #punny 😉
.
Overall, gardeners should know soil pH influences plant nutrient uptake. 🌱
.
pH measures hydrogen ions in soil on a scale of 0-14. 🔬
•7 is neutral
•0-6 = acidic, increased hydrogen ions
•8-14 = basic, decreased hydrogen ions.
.
⛰Geology of the area and land management influences pH:
•Granite or sand = Acidic 🏖
•Bedrock and limestone = Basic 🗻
•Forested land = Acidic 🌲
•Grassland = Basic 🌾
.
Because of the reactivity of hydrogen in soil, certain nutrients and minerals are more or less available to plants depending on the pH of the soil.
.
Most plants prefer 6-7.5 pH, so if you’re in this range, you’re in a good place for the vast majority of plants. If soil is outside this range, you may notice certain ornamental or edible species planted are surviving but not thriving. Amending your soil pH could help. You can do this with a number of gardening practices and products.
.
Ultimately, we recommend testing your soil pH and planting species that can adapt easily to the conditions.
