Either way, this is going to be a pH issue.

What ya gotta do-

Go out and buy a pH test kit- range of 5.0-8.0 or thereabouts. A fishtank kit doesn't have a wide enough range for our purposes.
Pick up a little DISTILLED water- must be without dissolved minerals for our purposes.

Take a soil sample FROM THE ROOT ZONE- not just from the top of the pot. pH in soil can vary a LOT according to depth.

Put your sample in some distilled water- shake it about, mix it up really well. Let settle.

Now do a pH test on the water that you've exposed to your sample, according to packet directions. You'll get an accurate reading.

Test kit should run about $7US- good for a hundred tests. Distilled water will run about $3US/gallon.

Remember to treat this as labwork- rinse w/ distilled between tests, keep stuff clean- cap the test vial, don't just put your finger over it.

Hope this helps.

im going to get a good quality ph metre.
ok.....so once I do it what do I do?? if its over or under? or do we cross that bridge when we get to it?
