How do you measure 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.

When is the soil considered to be sweet soil or sour soil?
It relates to pH. An acid soil (pH of less than 7) is said to be "Sour". Alkaline soils (pH above 7) are generally referred to as "Sweet".
