In a organic garden situation where you have a higher PH in the soil... Is it possible to use Baking soda in water to bring the PH down???? Anyone ever tried this or heard of anyone doing it?? Seems so simple just wondering if it would work or have some adverse effect of the plants?

 | From what I've read here, you never want to use baking soda as it is poisionous to the plants. Quote:

| Johnny, I'm confused. You said you wanted to bring the pH down in your first post. the lower the pH the more acidic the soil.... Do you know the pH of your soil? And how did you test it? Peace- OD
