The pH of soil directly affects nutrient availability to plants. Plants

thrive in different soil pH ranges, but readings outside 4 to 8 are

General Soil pH Information & Tips

uncommon. Some plant species are tolerant of wider pH ranges, but

most prefer a neutral soil with pH levels falling within the 6 to 7 range.

Increasing Soil pH

A common practice is to apply nely ground agricultural limestone. Depending on your soil

type, different amounts of limestone will be required to adjust the soil pH value.

Decreasing Soil pH

Adding organic material such as highly acidic sphagnum peat moss will lower soil pH.

Introducing elemental sulfur (90 or 99% sulfur material) or acidifying fertilizers such as

ammonium sulfate with repeated use can also reduce soil pH.

• Remove any stones, leaves, twigs or other debris near the test area.

Getting Started

• Insert the probe to a test depth of 5 in (12.7 cm).

• Leave the probe inserted for about 1 minute for the meter to stabilize its reading.

• Repeat these steps in an additional test area to conrm the accuracy of your reading.
