How do you get rid of acid sulfate soils?

Answer 1

Often acidic soils come from some sort of source the most common source being pine trees. if the acidic soil really bothers you you can move or simply get rid of this source. (Eg: cut down the pine tree and remove its roots). if you can you could also try and minimize the source by taking bits of it away. (Eg taking away the pine nettles) Finally if this doesn't help simply soaking the soil in water to dilute the acid and then draining the soil can get rid of the acidity or buying new topsoil to cover the old one.

Answer 2

To get rid of acid sulfate soils, you can neutralize the acidity by applying lime or other soil amendments. It's important to also manage water levels to prevent the soils from becoming waterlogged and releasing more acids. Proper drainage and land management practices are key to addressing the issue of acid sulfate soils.
