Thinking about Soil pH

pH is one of the most important soil quality parameters to know about one of the most critical components of your farm/garden- your soil.   And while it is one of the most important parameters, it is one of those things that you really shouldn't try to "manage" on your own.  This week we are discussing why you need to understand a little about your soil's pH.  Washington State University Extension has some great resources on soil and soil acidity, here are a couple: Introduction to pH Effects of soil pH on soil microorganisms In Utah, they have issues with high soil alkalinity- and Utah State has a good extension publication on this issue - the link can be found here: Soil pH (Utah State) Our theme music was composed and performed by Heather's son Callum, and the challenging job of audio editing is done by the uber-talented Laura Eccleston.
