Living Soil pH Control

Why is pH important in living soil?

Soil pH influences how nutrients are made available to plants and plays an important role in maintaining a balanced living soil ecosystem. Monitoring pH helps gardeners understand their growing conditions and make informed decisions when adjusting their soil management practices.

Regular testing is particularly valuable when adding new amendments, changing water sources or preparing fresh living soil for planting.
