As for other commercially available preparations, I have no idea.
Mrs. Greenjeans Reviewed by Mrs. Greenjeans on . Bicarbonate of Soda. Hi I'm making a soil mix consisting of some organic soil, perlite, decomposing plants from my garden, nutrients and I've added bicarbonate of soda, I heard this would raise the pH of my soil, is this true? Thanks Rating: 5
