A low soil pH just needs some lime and is good to go — right? Not necessarily so, explains Peter “Wheat Pete” Johnson in this latest episode of Wheat Pete’s Word.
Correcting low soil pH can be very difficult and expensive if the soil in question has plenty of buffering capacity, plus the pH problem may only occur in one depth of soil. That’s just one of the topics covered in this podcast; check out the summary below the player for more and for the links mentioned in the audio!
