What is the pH level of this soil?
851701
Doing a quick google search, i came up with 6.3-6.8 which is optimum for nutrient uptake. http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/index.php/item/ocean-forest-potting-soil.html

Usually a little "Hot", not too far off 7. give or take a bit. I add a little lime at start to adjust ph to my preferred level. I dont use any fertilizer for first 2 to 3 months with it. Plants will burn easier if fert. is added before needed.

Great name! Thanks for the question. The ph range is from 6.0-10(in the red) - end padThis test kit is nice and easy, tests for Bacteria, lead, pesticide, nitrates and PH. I have been testing evrey 2-3 months since I am in PA along the fracking belt and recently my township has converted to Philadelphia public water, no more well water. All the best!

I don't remember for sure but I was thinking it was around 30# It does wonders in the garden. I used it last year and am slowly adding it into my soil.

You can find out if the soil is acid or alkaline with the litmus paper but the litmus test will not indicate the degree of acidity or alkalinity. To determine the exact pH of the soil, you will need to use a soil test kit or even better take it to the local extension office and let them test it for you for free.

The pH level in the soil. I wanted to be sure I was putting lavendar plants (sensitive to acidic soils) in soil that would support them.

I would agree it will be at least 1000ppm if incoming water is 250ppm. Plants would probably not mind but your soil will get heavy in minerals. It is not that much water in any case.

I verified my value w Princeton and they say 3.5 pH is typical. Here is the link:https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Orange_juice.html

The answer depends on how much you are trying to lower the soil pH and on the organic matter content of your soil. Adding about 1 lb per 100 sq ft of garden will lower the pH by 0.5 units in a low organic matter soil. With higher organic matter (2-4%), the same decrease may take 3-4 lb/100 sq ft. However, you should NEVER add more than 2 lb/100 sq ft in a given year, or crop damage may occur. Check the pH again the next year and add accordingly if still needed.

The bag says, Ingredients: 45-55% sphagnum peat moss, peat humus, and dolomitic limestone to adjust ph.

the calibrated range of the ph.7 and ph4.0 buffers is .5 degrees accrurate...I have used this equipment for years and find it to be great...have not used the 10.1 buffer solution in food processes...but will tell you this equipment is very reliable...

I don't do soil but my answer would be no. If the soil is very wet my guess the sensor would test the water ph and not the soil/water combination.

No you cant push it directly in the soil. To ph soil, you would need to mix your soil in some neutral ph solution or ph'd water, then use your device to measure the ph.

What size are your pots? I have outdoor 20 yeas old plants and added about 3 cups to each plant this spring working it into the soil (Two months ago). I have not noticed a change either. It can take years to lower the ph properly. I would check the ph after two months and add more working it into the soil if the ph does not start to drop. Make sure you are checking the ph properly. A ph change of 0.5 is actually a large change because of how the scale works

You need to have a solution of known PH so you can test your PH metter and calibrate it according to instructions

Yes it is. I myself use it in planters, inside and the PH leve is perfect and good draining soil. And the perfect thing about it is that you don't have to worry about snags with this soil. I highly recommend this soil it's the only one I use for all my indoor plants, PS good luck it's that time of the yaer&#127803;&#127802;&#127808;&#127800;

I haven't a clue--maybe a soil test kit will give you the ph--all I know is I put a heaping teaspoon of the chicory on top of the dark roast coffee when I make a pot with my Bunn Coffee Machine and the result is rich and flavorful. With out it the coffee tastes thin/weak. I'm spoiled.

I don't remember. ..My tree did not make it ..Could have been my alkaline soil...
