Adjust Soil pH

4
  1. Solution: Amend the soil with lime (to raise pH) or sulfur (to lower pH) based on soil test recommendations.
  2. Explanation: Most vegetables prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0). If the soil is too acidic or alkaline, nutrient uptake by plants is hindered. Lime (calcium carbonate or dolomite) makes soil less acidic, while elemental sulfur makes it more acidic. Apply amounts recommended by a soil test.
  3. Notes: Crucial for nutrient availability. Requires a soil test to determine the need and application rate. Takes time for pH adjustments to occur.
