Study Notes
- Remove weeds and debris to prevent competition for resources and improve soil quality.
- Loosen soil to improve drainage, aeration, nutrient absorption, and ease of planting.
- Test soil pH level to ensure plants receive necessary nutrients for growth.
- pH scale ranges from 0-14, with 7 being neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline.
- Most plants prefer a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.
- Soil pH level affects microbial activity in the soil.
- Different plants may require a different soil environment.
- Soil pH level can lead to nutrient deficiencies, stunted growth, and plant death if not suitable.
- Lime can raise pH level, sulfur can lower pH level.
- Balanced pH level helps plants absorb nutrients from soil and thrive.
