Generation

# Soil pH and Amendments **Optimal pH Range:** Most vegetables and ornamentals thrive at 6.0-7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral); blueberries and azaleas prefer 4.5-5.5 (acidic); lilacs prefer 6.5-7.5 (neutral to slightly alkaline). **Amendments:** Add **sulfur or peat moss** to lower pH; add **lime (calcium carbonate)** to raise pH. **Why It Matters:** Soil pH directly controls nutrient availability—iron, manganese, and phosphorus become "locked up" and inaccessible to plant roots outside the optimal range, causing deficiencies even when nutrients are present. Most nutrients are maximally available between pH 6.0-7.0, which is why this range suits the majority of plants.
