Here's a simple way to test for soil ph without any testing equipment. How does it work? It only requires vinegar and baking soda. Vinegar is acidic, and baking soda is alkaline. Divide the soil sample into two parts, and test each part to see if there's a reaction. If it fizzes like alka seltzer, you've got your answer. Test each one for the "fizz". Very simple.
A Homer Simpson moment--- D'oh! Why couldn't I think of that?
Since my seedlings won't grow worth a flip, I need to do some detective work to figure out why not. Testing for ph is a way to start.
