SOIL ACIDITY

SOIL HEALTH SERIES

WHAT IS SOIL pH? It’s a measure of the ACIDITY or ALKALINITY (hydrogen ion concentration) of the soil. It’s largely determined by the rocks and minerals, and the weather that occurred when the soils were created over thousands of years!

Soil pH is IMPORTANT! It determines the availability of soluble plant nutrients and the microbial activity of the soil.
