How does soil pH change? How to measure what an article tells you

I believe many people are curious about the pH of the soil, but they don't know how to measure and change it. I'm going to tell you a little trick today.

Measure acidity and alkalinity

Method 1:

Take the same amount of soil samples from a beaker and add vinegar and baking soda to the beaker. After standing for 5 minutes, observe the state of the soil in the beaker. If the beaker of edible vinegar changes, the soil is alkaline and vice versa.

Method 2:

Buy PH test paper and dissolve the soil sample in distilled water. Then stick the PH test paper with soil solution. At this time, you can observe the changes of the PH test strip.

Change the pH:

For plants that like acidic soil, such as rhododendron, camellia, red maple, jasmine, begonia, begonia, golden tea, kumquat, cherry blossom, five-needle pine, Artemisia angustifolia, bamboo, magnolia, magnolia, plum blossom, camphor, heather and so on. You can use white vinegar with water and water the flowers. This can change the acidity and basicity of the soil.

For flowers and plants that like alkaline soil, such as locust, pomegranate, elm leaf plum, oleander, spring, forsythia, crape myrtle, clove, rose, dragon cypress, round cypress, Platycladus orientalis, yellow poplar and so on. You can use baking soda to mix water and add it.
