Soil PH too Low
Hello first post on this site. I am a newbie outdoor grower (green house actually). The PH of my water is around 7.2. My soil PH is around 5.5. My soil consists of CA Supersoil, Vermiculite, and Perlite. I use Jack's Classic 20-20-20 every third watering. Some of the big fan leaves are starting to droop a little and are slightly discolored. I'm sure this is the PH issue. I have read about adding hydrated lime but to raise it but that it can also be toxic and bipolar for PH testing. They are planted in 10 Gallon Containers. I would like to avoid transplanting. Can I just dig some dolomite lime in the soil with my hands or is there a better way of getting the PH back to where it needs to be?
