THEY would rather spend 30,000 to imprison one of US than pay 10,000 for college tuition for US if THEY just legalized it THEY would save alot of money.

Alright well this news is really bad and good. I got a pH test today and found out my runoff water is very acidic, note that I also tested my water and it is neutral to slight alkaline. So the acidic soil is the "root" of all my problems, so our suspicions are confirmed. Now, as to how I am supposed to raise the pH to a more neutral level while it has a plant in it, I have no idea. Most things I have read say to mix it in before planting, obviously that isn't an option. I read about wood ash and decided to test it out. I burnt some wood, mixed with neutral water, and sure enough the pH was very alkaline! So, do I just get a bunch of wood ash and mix it with some water and pour it to em? Thanks guys, we are getting this thing sorted out after all. Oh and btw, my cooltube got here today, ftw!
