Just found this thread Simple Home Tests for Basic Soil Problems in the library and thought it was great. Seemed timely for a lot of us. I am putting together a test kit to optimize my raised beds. Seems to me it would great for testing remote sites as well. Kudos to selene35

| i was thinking of running some of water through the soil in the grow spot and then comparing the differences with a ph meter but this is also a nice tip.... "To check if your soil is severely alkaline: take a tablespoon of dried garden soil and add a few drops of vinegar. If the soil fizzes, then the pH is above 7.5. The free carbonates in the soil react with the acid at a pH of 7.5 and above. To check for acidity in the soil: take a tablespoon of wet soil and add a pinch of baking soda. If the soil fizzes, then the soil is probably very acidic (pH less than 5.0). The ideal pH for most plants is 5.5 to 7.5. A few plants prefer more extreme conditions."
