Most people focus on what they put in the garden… but forget to understand what they’re planting into. 🌱 Your soil isn’t just dirt it’s the foundation for everything. And one of the biggest factors is pH. pH determines what nutrients your plants can actually absorb. You could be feeding your garden all the right things… and your plants still struggle just because the pH is off. So here’s a quick backyard test you can do right now: Grab: * A scoop of your soil * A little water * Some vinegar Mix the soil with a bit of water to make mud, then pour vinegar on top. 👉 If it bubbles/fizzes: your soil is alkaline (higher pH) 👉 If nothing happens: your soil is likely neutral or acidic Is it perfect? No. But it’s a simple way to start understanding what your soil is telling you. Because once you understand your soil, everything else gets easier. #gardeningtips #soilhealth #ph #tip #shilohfarm
