To test: add 2 teaspoons of garden soil to a jar and a few inches of cabbage water. Stir and wait for 30 minutes. Check the color. If it turns pink, your soil is acidic. If it is blue/green, your soil is alkaline. There are quite a few fruit and vegetable plants that thrive in acidic soil.
Test Your Soil. You can do a quick and cheap test for excess alkalinity in your soil by putting some dirt in a container and pouring about a 1/2 cup of vinegar into it. If it ï¬zzes or bubbles up, itâs too alkaline. Simply add peat moss or sulfur to make your soil pH more neutral. Related: Get Down In Your Dirt.
