How to know if your soil is acidic or alkaline using items you already have at home? 🔍🌱
You can easily, quickly, and homemade discover the pH of the soil using baking soda or vinegar. Here's how to do it:
1. Acidic soil: 🌱
Take a sample of the soil and add a little baking soda with water.
➡️ If it bubbles or produces gas, your soil is acidic! 💥
2. Alkaline soil: 🌱
Mix a little of the soil with vinegar.
➡️ If there is fizzing or bubbles, your soil is alkaline! ✨
Why is this important?
The pH of the soil affects the availability of nutrients 🌾.
➡️ Some plants prefer acidic soils, such as hydrangeas and azaleas.
➡️ Others thrive better in alkaline soils, such as lavender and rosemary 🌿.
💡 Knowing the pH helps you grow healthier and more productive plants!
