Organic soil amendments are the best way to adjust soil pH. Adjusting soil pH is not an exact science and takes time. A pH test number that is more than 0.5 on either side of the optimal pH number for the plants you want to grow will require a soil amendm

The texture of the soil, organic matter content and the plants to be grown are all factors to consider in adjusting the pH value. For example, soils low in clay require less lime than soils high in clay to make the same pH change.

To adjust your soil's pH, use pulverized lime or granulated lime to increase the pH. After applying the lime, rake it into the soil and water regularly for best results. Alternatively, apply wood ash to your soil, but bear in mind that the ash will on
