How can I adjust the pH of my soil for better plant growth?

To adjust soil pH, you can add lime to raise it or sulfur to lower it. What is your current soil pH?

My soil pH is around 5.5. What should I do?

Since 5.5 is on the acidic side, you might want to add lime. How much area do you need to treat?

I have about 1000 square feet of garden. How much lime should I use?

For 1000 square feet, you typically need about 50-100 pounds of lime, depending on your target pH. Have you tested your soil recently?

Yes, I tested it last week. Should I retest after applying lime?

Yes, retesting after a few months is a good idea to see how the pH has changed.
