Different Ways To Do A Soil pH Test

How To Do Lawn pH Test

What Is Soil pH

Soil pH is the level of acidity or alkalinity in our lawn and garden soils. All plants have a preferred pH level where they will thrive, and once soil goes outside of this preferred comfort zone - the plant, or lawn will begin to suffer and become weakened.

Soil health is the single most important element in achieving a strong healthy lawn, and for anyone interested in having a beautiful lawn - a soil pH test really is the very best and first place to begin.

The ideal pH for most lawns sits at the sweet spot of around 6.5, if your lawn soil returns a result below 6, or above 7 then action needs to be taken to bring the soil back to good lawn health so our lawns can once again thrive with the greatest chance of success. Repairs are easy, but we need to know the pH of our lawns first, so lets do that now.

Lawn fact:
A waxy coating on the grains of soil is responsible for the water repelling effect that is often seen in soils, resulting in poor lawn or plant health. In a similar manner to detergents, Wetting Agents will break down this waxy coating, allowing for easier water absorption and retention. Wetting Agents should be included as a normal part of the maintenance routine of every lawn and applied at least twice a year.
