Soil pH is the pH value of the particular soil mixture.AnswerIt is a measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity in the soil. 7 is neutral on the scale.
Type your answer here...It depend of on the following things;- Acidity and alkalinity of the soil and compaction of the soil.

Calcium carbonate is used to control soil acidity.
All soil has a particular chemical composition that is based on environment. Any soil sample can be measured for acidity or alkalinity (low PH or high PH respectively). This is an important measurement because each plant has a specific range where it can grow. Some need acidic soil. Some need neutral soil. Some need basic (alkaline) soil.

the scale that measures the acidinty is weight scale
They change color due to the acidity or alkalinity of the soil they are grown in.
They can test the soil for its acidity and alkalinity and either correct the pH level or grow plants that are appropriate. They can test the levels of nutrient in the soil and add appropriate fertilising material.
This depends on the PH (acidity-alkalinity of your soil), the lime may not be required.There will be some lime in the fertilizer but,if, after a soil test, lime is required, it can be applied at the same time as the fertilizer.
It depends on the variety of Hydrangea although soil acidity or alkalinity will alter the shading and colour. Generally, acidic soil produces blue or lavender-blue hydrangeas and alkaline soil produces pinks and reds.
Calcium carbonate is used to control soil acidity.
Soil acidity is determined by a measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration of a particular soil. A pH meter is the instrument generally used by soil testing laboratories in measuring soil acidity. Generally, a small portion of the soil sample is mixed with water in a 1 to 1 or a 2 to 1 ratio and stirred. After the soil solution has set for approximately 30 minutes, a glass electrode and reference electrode are dropped into the soil-water mixture and the soil pH is determined. The measurement scale used in determining soil acidity is the pH scale which ranges from 0-14. A soil pH of 7.0 indicates a soil is neutral in reaction. Any number below 7.0 denotes soil acidity and numbers above 7.0 denote soil alkalinity. These measurements are a logarithmic factor. Therefore, a soil with a pH of 6.0 is 10 times more acid than a soil with a pH of 7.0. A soil having a pH of 5.0 is 100 times more acid than a soil pH of 7.0, etc.

The color of the soil is not as important as its chemistry. Red soil frequently has a lot of clay and black soil frequently has a lot of organic material, but this isn't always true. The only way to be sure about soil is to have it tested and the test will indicate the fertility of the soil and the amount of organic material and the acidity/alkalinity. Every county in the US has a county extension office where you can get your soil tested.
