    pH pushin over 7, please help

    Yeah, it rinses most of the salts theat tend to build up in soil, thus making it less acidic. But flushing would make his soil push even more the towards the alkalinic part of the scale. So flushing would actually be making the problem worser.

    pH pushin over 7, please help

    pH scale:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

    1 is highly acidic, 8 & 9 is neutral 14 is highly alkalinic. Lime I believe, will lower the pH, thus it more acidic. Rememeber, the ideal pH for soil is a pH of 7. Everyone on this thread is giving advice on how to make the soil more alkalinic, which is worsening the problem. I have no intentions of offending anyone on this thread, I am merely trying to help out CrystalBaller.

    just get a bottle of PH down or PH up if the Ph level happens to go down. PH levels between 6.5 and 7 seven being the neutral level,, you should not let your plants get above 7.5 for any length of time and the others are right if you want to keep it neutral the fine dolomite lime will bring the balance back to a nutural level...it they should be ok if you act now,,best of luck
