Changing Garden Soil pH

The correct pH is critical for garden success. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison explains that most plants like a soil pH between 5.8 and 6.2. If you are outside this range, you will need to correct the soil pH to allow plants to absorb the nutrients they need. Mike talks about the different products to raise and lower pH. To raise pH lime is used. To lower pH sulfur is used. Mike has a few blueberry plants that require very acid soils so he shows how to use a soil test to calculate the amount of sulfur to use. He then applies the sulfur.
