Somewhere within a range of 6.8-7.3 is what the pH level needs to be within compost. That's the level that's needed for adding the final dark brown, fresh smelling, nutrient rich organic compost effectively to soil in which plants are to be grown. The exact reading depends upon the particular types of compostable materials that are added to the compost pile. For example, yard waste that includes conifer needles tends to lower the pH more towards the acidic range. Yard waste that includes deciduous leaves tends to raise the pH more towards the alkaline range.
Right around 6.5-7.0 is a neutral reading on the 1-14 scale that measures pH. Readings downward from the neutral range identify acidic levels. Readings upward from the neutral range indicate alkaline levels.

What compost should be used for magnolias?
Ericaceous is the type of compost that should be used for magnolias. The flowering plant in question may be grouped with such acidic soil pH-loving, lime-hating vegetation as azaleas and rhododendrons. It therefore requires the ericaceous compost which heath and heather family members favor.
