Soil question????

I have been slowly but surely developing my garden, i have a small query. The soil is basically like a peat loam, slightly acidic. I done the jar test and there waslittle esle apart from peat and a little silt. I was able to grow some potato's last year then added plenty of rotten manure, but i am wondering what would be best to improving it's structure and bring the Ph down a bit.

 

You have every gardeners desire! Most of us here have either clay or sandy soil. You should be able to grow most things in your soil but if you feel the need to improve it I would suggest either manure, which you have used already, or perhaps topsoil to help with the structure.

 

thanks, plenty of manure on it this year, so hopefully it will be ok, might try some topsoil as i am looking to improve the structure, many thanks

 

Hi there.

You say your soil is slightly acidic, so I would assume it has a PH of around 6.5? And, when you say you want to bring the PH down, you mean you want it more acidic?
