Soil PH

[Delilah]

I know water is to at around a PH level of 6.5, but what should the soil be at for PH level?
thanks

about the same... to ph your soil i think that you check the runnoff ph and multiply the difference .

ie water is 7.0 soil runnoff is 9.0 then the soil ph is 10. and you plants is already dead

Wait, multiply what? How do you get 10 from 7.0 and 9.0? Doesn't make sense...

that was a bit fast for me...

okay water neural, the drain is 9, why is than the ph of the soil 10???

Nobody gets it. Because its not right. He messed up. Now we all have to go around trying to figure out what he was talking about.lol

You can get kits that will test your soil ph but why not just get good soil to start with or some other medium??

I got a question, is there a meter that you can use to read the water ph and the soil?

whats wrong with a soil ph mete...?

Well i don't know if you are asking me or not but I though you had to check the water ph and the soil ph. You can't check the soil ph with a water ph meter can you? So is there a meter to check both. Or can I just use a soil ph meter to check the water.

Water PH is can be checked with one of those PH/Chlorine test kits used for pools. I also bought a Soil PH kit that works on the same premise. Both were under $25.00
