Changing Soil pH

Soil pH is important for plants because it affects the availability of nutrients. While the ideal range for pH is 6.0–6.5, some plants prefer higher or lower pH. Use a soil test to determine the pH of your soil. If you need to change it, the UC Vegetable Information and Research Center has an article on Changing pH in Soil.
