    I thought i would post this here since i am goin all organic this summer. But i was wondering what a good ph level is. I have been working my plot for about 5 days total and i have added peat moss since there was alot of clay. Then added some really rich black compost. I went out an checked it this morning and i had a ph of 6.5 to 5.75.

    Lime - UP
    Sulfur - DOWN


    If you can, buy a soil pH test kit and find out what you're at before you plant. You can then mix in some sulfur or lime if you need it without having to add it to the top soil later and wait until it starts working(weeks). Keep in mind pH will rise over time

    So if my ph level is low preplanting, I shouldnt add lime because it will go up with time?

    Naw u want to put the lime in the dirt before hand, If u put it on while ur planting u might burn it.

    what about mixing egg shells in while the plant is in there? sometimes the ph gets high with the plant in the soil
