How to adjust and measure soil pH? One article explains it clearly

I believe many people are very curious about soil pH, but do not know how to measure and change it. Today I will tell everyone a little trick.

Measuring pH

Method one:

Use a beaker to take equal amounts of soil samples, and add edible vinegar and baking soda to the beakers respectively. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then observe the state of the soil in the beakers. If a change occurs in the beaker with the edible vinegar, it means the soil is alkaline, and vice versa.

Method two:

Buy PH test paper, and dissolve the soil sample in distilled water. Then stick the soil solution onto the PH test paper. At this point, just observe the change in the PH test paper.

Changing pH:

For plants that like acidic soil, such as: rhododendron, camellia, red maple, jasmine, crabapple types, begonia types, golden camellia, kumquat, cherry blossom, five-needle pine, Buddhist pine, anthurium, nandina, bamboo types, clivia, southern magnolia, plum blossom, camphor, photinia, etc. You can use white vinegar diluted with water to water the flowers. This can play a role in changing the acidity and alkalinity of the soil.

For flowering plants that like alkaline soil, such as: pagoda tree, pomegranate, elm-leaved spirea, oleander, winter jasmine, forsythia, crape myrtle, lilac, Chinese rose, dragon juniper, Chinese juniper, Oriental arborvitae, boxwood, etc. You can use baking soda mixed with water and add it in.
