testing soil ph (acidity)

we sell do it yourself soil test kits

fill soil to first line. no contact with bare fingers

empty green pill into test tube

fill to fourth line with tap water

shake well and let settle out. pic is 10 seconds old

after a few minutes it settles out into it's final pH reading. I'm guessing that this reading is about 6.5

50 lbs lime raises the pH of 1,000sq ft of soil by .75 pH points. Target pH is 7.0 for lawns and veggies. Test eventually settled down to 7.0 because this soil was made up wholly of decomposed wood chips.
