7.6 ph garden #873742

Asked June 19, 2024, 8:50 AM EDT

I received my soil test results for my vegetable garden. The ph is 7.6 slightly alkaline. Should I add sulfur or other chemical to lower the ph? I’ve read most plants like a lower ph.

Since your soil is barely over the recommended limit of 7.5, you may be able to grow vegetables successfully without any amendment.
