May I ask is it just lime juices or ground up peals that one would add to keep Ph levels down?

Thanks

You are better of just getting some garden lime. Its cheap.

Oh was I wrong? I thought I heard lime juices or ground rines (peels) would bring down PH lvls?

Lime juice does lower PH since its acidic. While Garden lime is alkaline and raises PH.

Lime adjusts soil pH so plants can get the most from nutrients present.
EPSOMA is what i use even if I don't need to fix my levels just a good thing to have anyway
