Soil pH test conducted by Tanita Ratinburi and Andrea Bakar. Conclusion: The soil at our chosen site has a NEUTRAL: pH level of 7 according to test results of soil sampled from different areas of the rain garden site. This is great news since the soil is neither too acidic nor too alkaline. This could mean that the greatest variety of native plants will be well- adapted and suited for our rain garden.

How Do You Adjust Soil pH?
Once you figure out your soil pH, it may be necessary to adjust it to suit the needs of the plants you’re growing. The level of acidity will specify the amount of soil amendment that is needed to bring it up or down to the appropriate level. Acidic (“sour”) soil is counteracted by applying finely ground limestone or wood ash, and alkaline (“sweet”) soil is typically treated with gypsum (calcium sulfate), ground sulfur, or compost.
