    Adjusting the pH level of your soil is very important so that plants can grow in desired pH level and can uptake nutrients. To make soil acidic by lowering pH level of soil, you can mix pine needles or woodchips in your soil. You can also use sulfur and vinegar to lower the pH level of your soil. To raise the pH level, use Lime or Calcium Carbonate. You can also use wood ash to raise the pH level of your soil.

    Using as much rain water as you can is also a good strategy if your soil is too alkaline, which is common in flat valley and city areas in California. Rain water has a pH of about 5 while tap water has a pH of about 7.5. The roof gutter is an efficient way to collect extra rain water.

    • @freedomofreligion3248
      @freedomofreligion3248 Год назад +1

      It's apparently illegal in 4 states (Utah is one, where I am) to "collect rainwater"! I'll have to research gutter/roof water; surely I can divert that -- can I collect + store it? Don't yet know..

    DO NOT till your wood chips into your soil!!! You will strip the nitrogen from the soil!!!! I had a buddy of mine till them in and he had to go two years before he could grow anything in it! Build your soil up always. Just put them on top and thick. Glad you mentioned it!

      You should till the chips in at the end of the year. Nitrogen is the easiest and cheapest element to increase in the garden soil. Seasoned Wood chips add more benefits than it what it removes nitrogen. Rain is one thing that is free and adds nitrogen, among many things, including making green composite tea using multiple weed leaves. ❤

    Thanks for this info. I do have a question - I've always heard that pine needles make the soil more acidic. However, I have also read that this is a myth. I have alkaline soil and believe some of my trees are suffering from chlorosis. I also have access to a lot of pine needles. I'm wondering if you think pine needles would be a good way to help with my chlorosis issue. The issue appears to be affecting my oak trees...

    Great video Jag! That was a lot packed into a short time, but a great resource to come back and watch again and again for specific areas of the garden, and target those areas with what works. Question: how far from one garden bed to another should an acidic soil be from an alkaline? Can they be next to each other, or will there be some leaching of soils? Im asking for those that plant in-ground as opposed to in raised garden beds. Excellent video!

    Nobody I know thinks in terms of "Sandy or Clay" type soils anymore. Everyone is making soil using mixes from bagged mix and adding organic peat, worm castings, various amendments, and lots of coir and perlite. Perhaps an update speaking to raised bed, wicking bed, etc. would spread your knowledge and help thousands.

    I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
    78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
    81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
    88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
    92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
    and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
    99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
    102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

    The cheapest and effective way to lower the soil pH is to add elemental sulfur to the soil twice a year, Soil bacteria change the sulfur to sulfuric acid, lowering the soil pH and it takes 3-6 months for it to work. You need to be very patient anout it. Pine needle or woodchip are not acidic, can not lower your soil PH level. Vinegar can lower the soil PH level but in very sort time only. please bear in mind that put Vinegar in your soil can kill your garden earthworks and microbes. Please do more serch yourself😮
