Here's a list of pH ranges
, found on
SimplyHydro.com
.
Note that this is the pH *after* you add plant nutrients.
Beans 6.0-6.5
Broccoli 6.0-6.5
Cabbage 6.5-7.5
Cantaloupe 6.5-6.8
Carrots 5.8-6.4
Chives 6.0-6.5
Cucumbers 5.8-6.0
Garlic 6.0-6.5
Lettuce 6.0-6.5
Onions 6.5-7.0
Peas 6.0-6.8
Pumpkin 5.0-6.5
Radish 6.0-7.0
Strawberries 5.5-6.5
Tomatoes 5.5-6.5
Here's how to adjust the pH to achieve the proper range:
•
If your pH is too low, it's too ACIDIC, and you need to add baking soda to make it more alkaline
(to raise the pH level). Simply stir in a teaspoon of baking soda, one at a time, until you reach
the desired pH.
•
If your pH is too high, it's too ALKALINE, and you need to add white vinegar to make it more
acidic (to lower the pH level). Simply stir in a teaspoon of white vinegar, one at a time, until you
reach the desired pH.
