Gardening for the Beginner: Checking your Soil PH

Hey There,  Are you sometimes puzzled about why a certain plant does not grow where you want it to? You plant Blueberries in this certain spot in your yard and the next thing you notice is that your plant is not growing as well as you hoped or even worse it dies.

The reason more and likely could be your soils condition or pH  level. This describes how acid or akaline your soil make-up is. Certain plants need a more acid like condition like our blueberry plant we just talked about above. There are  inexpensive pH meters that you can buy that will tell you the exact condition of your soil. You would then add Sulfur to lower the pH or add Dolomite Lime to raise it.

Proper soil pH is a factor in determining whether roots can absorb and process nutrients available in the soil.
