HOLY CRAP that's acidic! I'm no soil expert, and I realize plants are capable of living in a wider varieties of pH conditions. But speaking of humans, our body pH is 7.4 and even a small change in either direction, say 7.0 or 8 would result in acidosis, and alkylosis (respectively) and certain death. Kinda interesting that plants are able to tolerate this much more readily than ourselves. So this leads me to the question....what are normal soil pH levels?
