To increase the pH level in the soil so that the soil does not become too acidic.
acidic soil limits the availabilty of major nutrient Nitrogen. Acidic soil causes Nitrogen to held in solid form NH4+ so it is unavailable to the plant. Plants need Nitrogen in solution which is NO3-
Sometimes there could be too much aluminum in the soil making it acidic. Sometimes there is too much manganese which is toxic to plants. If the soil is too acidic, it can be because of a calcium and magnesium deficiency which is just as bad for plants as it is for humans. Iron and aluminum in great amounts can tie up phosphorus which also makes the soil too acidic for plants.
no
q Conifers make the soil they grow in too acidic for other plants too grow because when they let their needles die and fall to the soil, those needles have acidic substances so it goes into the soil making other plants not grow
add calcium carbonate
NO. A buffer donates H+ ions when conditions become too basic and accepts H+ ions when conditions become too acidic. So it donates H+ not OH-
No. It will be basic/alkaline.
The Gardener should add lime
A base such as lime.
Yes. If the soil is too acidic it can kill the seed. It depends on the type of seed and where it was originally meant to grow. Some plants like alkaline soil and some like base soil.
