Checked locally today and my pH/ppm is normal for my water company, ~7.5/120

The last time I thought my pH was going crazy, it turned out to be the pH probe in my meter going bad. It got very slow to calibrate and eventually stopped calibrating at all. I use a Hanna meter, so replacement was fairly simple..

I'm not sure the fall runoff would significantly affect it, unless possibly on a well. Even then, it's a long way to source.. when I used well water (Western Washington), it was also consistent year round.

Peace,

Farmer Rich Reviewed by Farmer Rich on . NOT checking PH GOTCHA! For many years I never bothered to check my PH. When I moved to Washington, almost 10 years ago now, every winter I had issues once winter hit. Well here winter means a lot of rain, 20 plus inches. Lots of trees to which provide dead acidic leaves to drain into the ground. Now, mind you this country can dry out faster than anyplace I have ever lived, so the water moves very quickly into the water table. A week ago the heavy rains started. Some winters I even tried rain Rating: 5
