흙에 식초를 넣어 거품이 생기면 알카리 토양
훍에 물을 붙고 베이킹소다를 넣고 거품이 생기면 산성토양..
토양 pH가 중요한 이유는?
✅ 산성 토양(pH 5-6): 블루베리, 철쭉, 감자와 같은 식물에 이상적입니다.
✅ 중성 토양(pH 6-7): 대부분의 채소와 꽃에 가장 좋습니다.
✅ 알칼리성 토양(pH 7+): 라벤더, 로즈마리, 아스파라거스가 선호합니다.
토양 pH 조정
✔ pH를 낮추려면(토양을 더 산성화하려면): 이탄 이끼, 유황 또는 커피 찌꺼기와 같은 유기물을 추가합니다.
✔ pH를 높이려면(토양을 더 알칼리화하려면): 석회 또는 나무 재를 사용합니다.
How to Test Your Soil pH at Home with Simple Ingredients 🌱
Testing for Alkaline Soil (pH above 7)
✅ What you need: Soil sample + Vinegar
✅ How to test:
Place a small amount of soil in a container.
Pour vinegar over the soil.
Result: If the soil fizzes or bubbles, it indicates an alkaline pH.
Testing for Acidic Soil (pH below 7)
✅ What you need: Soil sample + Baking soda + Water
✅ How to test:
Mix soil with a bit of water to make it damp.
Add baking soda.
Result: If you see bubbles, your soil is acidic.
Why Soil pH Matters?
✅ Acidic Soil (pH 5-6): Ideal for plants like blueberries, azaleas, and potatoes.
✅ Neutral Soil (pH 6-7): Best for most vegetables and flowers.
✅ Alkaline Soil (pH 7+): Preferred by lavender, rosemary, and asparagus.
Adjusting Your Soil pH
✔ To lower pH (make soil more acidic): Add organic matter like peat moss, sulfur, or coffee grounds.
✔ To raise pH (make soil more alkaline): Use lime or wood ash.
