- Welcome back to HuwsNursery. Today's video is a look at how does soil pH actually affect plant growth? We know for most vegetables we should aim for a pH of 6-7.5 for the best growth but I wanted to find out why it is so important? From the research I did I found 5 reasons why a certain soil pH is important for the growth of plants. Below are the list of sources I used and thought I would link them if you would like to find out more:

thanks so much for helping me understand Huw! you helped me on my school project debate thing i had on this! you are so helpful! keep doing what your doing!
Straight & to the point! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Hi Huw. I'm glad to see you're putting those coffee grounds to good use! Excellent information. Thanks for the link to the mycorrhizae video!
Thanks for watching Patrick and yeah they will be part of the garden from now on. You're welcome I hope some people will find it very useful!
Another good episode Huw. Thank you.
Thank you very much for watching Sam Williamson
Youve saved my biology lab, thanks mate
Another great video Huw, thank you. Get those coffee grounds into your soil and you`ll certainly improve the yield of your leafy greens. I dont drink at my local Starbucks but they supply me with all the coffee grounds that I can take.
You're welcome my friend and thank you too for watching it! Yeah same with me such a great free resource
BEST PH VIDEO ON WEB.....WELL DONE....I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL....PLEASE TEY AND DO MORE...
Thank you! You may enjoy some of my latest videos :)
different plants have different types of photosynthesis, nutrients get absorbed at different rates depending on the PH content, a nutrient Blocking effect can happen if the ph is too far off, newer growth/germination typically like more alkaline soil, measure the runoff water of the test sample of soil to get a true reading
Thank you very much for sharing your videos. Our whole garden was hit with blight last year, very discouraging. I'll start keeping our coffee grounds so we'll have plenty to add, if needed. We'll also go to a nursery for a pH test as you suggested. Here in the eastern part of Canada we don't have a very long growing season but we all try!! Thanks again.
Thank lots brother...
Hello, All the information in the video is very valuable so, can i please use this for my project in science?
Please reply asap!
Lolgamezmax Max-out no
I appreciated the information very much.
Thank you very much!
Hi Huw, I'm wanting to grow acid loving plants such as azaleas in a separate bed, but am concerned as the peat I've bought says 3.8 to 4.4 on the packet. can I make an ericaceous mix with this for them and is this too acidic? as I read somewhere that even the ericaceous plants will not grow much with this ph. What will I need to add to get best conditions for these kind of plants? Thanks.
Thank you!!!
What a great video on how important the pH of our soils are ! I appreciate the reference to OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening and is fungi episode.
Great info on soil pH and how important it is for our plants.
Thank you very much ***** Yeah it is worth the mention!
Early days for me Huw and this information is extremely helpful. Thank you.
I am very glad this helps you and hope you have a great season!
just a GT video and information the sources down below were extremely good an again info thanks for your time 🐤🐦🐝🐞👍👍👍👍
Where do I find Patric and Stephen's video you referred to about fungi? Thanks
What element is determining the pH of the soil test and how does that help with base saturation levels to balance the soil?
Horsingabout Hydrogen concentration determines the pH
It's not one element, it's a combination of many things in the soil.
thanks huw here in Indiana usa we have very alkaline soil. Indiana sits on vast limestone deposits
I didn't know that William! Thanks for watching
that was a great vid I'm looking forward to more
Thank you very much LCJ Farms
Very informative thank you . Can you tell from the plants what they are lacking , if you don't have a soil tester
Ah Huw your so young in this clip! Great bit of info though to aid my RHS studies.
Why does a plant make the pH level change?
I want to know how to plant apple grow well (also about its pH and temperature)
Hey my name Charlie how often should I put horse compost in my garden
Although important, pH is only one factor responsible for the growth of plants. Very simplified video regarding the growth of plants.
just use ph down or up easyer
Thanks huw once again for an important reminder.. I have subscribed to your channel and hope you might do too. Best wishes for 2015
Hey Patrick Meehan I have subscribed back and enjoyed your video, You too my friend!
Wes Bentley
4.5 is not that acidic, (at least only for some plants)
Once 31.35% Hydrocloric acid (muriatic acid) fell in my hand and it took me one minute to notice some pain and that has a pH of like -2 that is not all pure sulfuric acid is way worse it has a pH of -26 that is not like 10 seconds before you feel pain and 2 before your skin becomes yellow for some weeks.
Wowww I’m years late for this vid
dude good video you.look like Tom Cruise by the way lol
