bog

[raviolli]

Have anyone grew in a bog and is that water in bog gonna fk up my soil's pH level ? i put them in containers but water with water straight away from bog, i might have done a mistake or everything should be fine ? and if not then i've heard that dolomite lime can neutralise water but how much to put of that in water so it isn't gonna be too much to make soil alkaline and again , bad for growing?

you would have to grow ditch wed or a more ruderalts weed. saying that, cannabis has been found growing in the strangest places. i think you have to build some sort of raised beds so that oxygen gets to the roots

My question is literally about watering plants with bog water which might be acidic and will it cause any damage ? I guess it doesn't make your soil acidic in one go ... also , if I add dolomite lime to water , will it be instantly neutral pH? and can I overdose with it?

potassium carbonate will work instantly, but you can over do it, a little go's a long way

All bogs aren't the same
You have to test your water before anyone knows if you even have an alkalinity issue

My thought is that if using soil and you get air to the roots it will work
As soil always acts as a buffer for ph
