Easy DIY Soil pH Test! Using just two household ingredients, baking soda and vinegar, we can easily test our soil’s pH and solve for acidic or alkaline issues.

pH is a very important growth parameter of your soil, right up there with moisture and nutrients! Most plants do best with a neutral to slightly acidic soil pH level. Falling too far outside of this range can result in poor harvests at best, and complete crop failures at worst.

Today, I’ll show you how to test your soil for any pH issues in less than 10 seconds using just baking soda and vinegar! Its a Garden Quickie, so watch it twice for maximum effect! 🙂
