pH, Soil Analysis

pH, Soil chemistry analysis

Alkaline (> pH 7.5) has calcium

Neutral (pH 5.5 – 7)

Acidic (pH <5.4) has no lime

Soil chemistry, calcium = lime

Different pH may occur in each layer or level of soil.

A ‘Well Water Test’ does not indicate soil pH levels.

Rain quickly washes calcium downwards, calcium also travels upwards over time

Perched, impermeable soil layers are also linked to pH levels and nutrients washing downwards
