Hey guys!

I somewhere read That the best ph for soil is about 6.5.

What about the water itself. My tap water is around 8, rain about 7 and botteled water somewhere 3 or 4. Does it even matter at all or should i go buy water:confused:

Thanks in advance

Have a good one:joint:

use the rain water then, and yes it does matter. you measure the runoff. bottled water with a ph of 3 ? something wrong there.

Yes you need to get some type of testing going wether its just like pool ph test strips or whatever. Soil ph I think is best at 6.2 and you dont want the ph to fluctuate much either. To adjust ph you can use baking soda for ph up and you can use white vinegar to ph down. About 1 tsp of Baking Soda and 1 cap full of vinegar will be good to start with.

just tried the google and I tried vinegar and lemon juice wiche pretty much made the water go around 4 (got some testing kit).

Oddly enough my soil is just around 6.5

thats because a PH of 3 would be an acid

stomach acid (HCl is like 1.6 to 2)
