One thing I’ve never paid any attention to is the pH factor of my soil. I know this is a measure of a soils acidity and that it has an effect on plants but I’ve never paid much attention to it since each year I feed my garden beds new soil and other goodies in my preparation.
Here is a table of pH factors I found rhat will help explain all of this doing some research for this article.
| Description | PH Range |
| Ultra acid | 3.5 |
| Extremely acid | 3.5 – 4.4 |
| Very strongly acid | 4.5 – 5.0 |
| Strongly acid | 5.1 – 5.5 |
| Moderately acid | 5.6 – 6.0 |
| Slightly acid | 6.1 – 6.5 |
| Neutral | 6.6 – 7.3 |
| Slightly alkaline | 7.4 – 7.8 |
| Moderately alkaline | 7.9 – 8.4 |
| Strongly alkaline | 8.5 – 9.0 |
| Very strongly alkaline | 9.0 |
