Is soil acidic if it contains a great deal of moss?

No, not always. Moss is acidic - yes, but having moss grow is not usually a sign of acidic soil. To grow moss in your lawn, all that is required is insufficient sunlight, low soil fertility, compacted soil, dampness, low pH. If moss is growing, it is more likely a problem with soil compaction.


Does corn grow better in acid or alkaline soil?

Corn typically grows best in slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. If soil pH is too low (acidic) or too high (alkaline), it can affect nutrient availability for the plant and hinder growth. It's important to maintain the proper pH levels for optimal corn growth.
