Thanks John, great info. I am ordering that handy dandy gadget now. 👍🌱

Glad I found this.. in the process of putting in multiple raised beds this year and I would have added lime from the get go.. now I'll wait and get a meter!

Thank you for the information John. I will have to get me one of those testers.

It made a huge difference in ours!

Great info I need to get one of those and check my gardens. I always new about that and don't think i have a problem but it is good to keep on top of the soil. Thanks again John have a great day.

I made the same mistake years ago John. I kept seeing folks add lime to the soil so I followed suit. I soon learned about testing the soil.

Wow, this was very hepful. I'm going to check out that meter and check my soil. Appreciate the help!

Most informative video about pH. Thank you!

Great information. I love my ph gadget!!! I have used it in all my beds, ground, and containers!!!

Great gardening information

Great info John! We use lime in the yard, but never used it much in the gardens. I can't even say we tested the soil at our old place. Hope to be better prepared next year. The move kicked our butts this year. Otherwise, I'd have had a huge garden! Lol Take Care, Wild Man! God Bless! (PS, I watch, but sometimes, I miss commenting on everyone 😉)

I'll have to get one of those for next season.

Very helpful information! Thank you friend! Soil science, baby! I wonder what would make a soil naturally tend toward alkaline on its own? Good thing we have lime to do it ourselves! I love the data and science of gardening! Wow! Your corn is massive!!! Super cool; I'm going to get a ph meter. I was wondering about doing it in different spots! haha!! Good job! This was a wonderfully helpful video! Thank you!

I throw a handful in the hole with the plant and fertizer when I plant to mask the odor. Otherwide my plants get dug up. The ph is 5.5 though. Hope I'm not screwing up!

Very Interesting and helpful info you share with us John, before I'd begin asking dumb questions I rewatched the video and now all clear Acidic is 1 to 7 and Alkaline is 7 to 14, veggies prefer 6.5 to 7.0 so the conclusion here is if the soil ph is 5.5 you add the correct amount of sweet lime to get it up to 6.5. I had heard Blueberries love acidic soil, but just a few hours ago Jason Avers chatted in his 'stream, not necessarily so, they do well at 6.5 ph. Thank you as always Portugues Man O'War, liked and thank you for sharing the amazon link for getting the ph tester. Oh and btw, that TALL corn you had there, is that the Azorean Corn? Whew, coupla months ago I watched a video of a Hopi man with his corn and his is midget sized, only 3 ft. tall, but I guess its because Ankhima's in northern AZ and the Azores and back east get more than ample rainfall.Oops sorry for the long comment John, take care and greetings to Miss Dani and you. :)

I was compelled to go buy 12 bags of lime today in the Jan nh winter cold- bc I KNOW thats what the problem is! haha- TY!

thanks!

Notoriously unreliable electronic soil pH testers from Amazon lol

Great info John. I love my PH / moisture tester. One thing a soil test from your local cooperative or ag fertilizer supplier will tell you is potassium, sulphur, nitrogen levels as well. Well worth the small fee.

Hi man, I’ve got a question. I have a bag of dolomite like. It says on the label that 1gr/liter of soil (in pots) raise soil ph by 1 point. So 10 liter pots need 10 gr of dolomite to move ph from 6 to 7. I’d like to understand if DL can raise ph over 7 or no metter how much you mix in the soil, max ph will always be 7 (neutral). I want to provide calmag but I fear to mix too much and fuck up soil ph that is already a good 6.2 Thanx

After 2 months my runoff was 7,4 ph with an input of 6,4 water. So my doubt is that dolomite raised ph to a 7.5 maybe...is it possible go over 7? What is DL ph?

If you add gypsum and dolomite lime to your soil, it will act as a buffer for your soil. Especially if you’re growing organically in living soil, you will not need to ph your water, your soil will do it for you. If you want to PH your water, don’t wait until it’s in your soil, get a water tester, not a soil meter like this guy has. They are much much more accurate as long as you calibrate it regularly.

FYI: your Amazon link doesn’t work anymore.
