Ph of potting mix mediums

Where do I start... question does anyone grow in potting mix? And if so has anyone ever had experience with mixes that have forests products in the mix ie pine shavings. My concern is that the mix would be too acidic for the plants.

I’ve had some organic potting mixes that were too acidic. To counter act and stabilize ph in your pot whatever you use, add 1/4-1/2 cup of dolomite lime, 1/4-1/2 cup azomite and you can use oyster shell powder. That’s what I did this year and it has worked very well. I do little to no ph testing and use filtered tap water and it’s the best grow I’ve done. Those soil amendments really do stabilize ph in your medium. Good luck brother.
