They are inclined to turn the soil acid.i
Alkaline
Add acid. Peat moss is a good one.
bean plants are acidifying foods, so they grow better in acid soils.
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".
most probably is acid...as we know peat soil contents high of organic materials....organic materials consist of Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen...most of these atom can be found in organic compound known as organic acid for example CH3OOCH3
Lime will change the PH of the soil. Evergreens like a acid soil and lime will add to much alkaline.

alkaline
As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline. The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.
Why would a plant like acid? Obviously go with the soil.
Soil is not the same everywhere. In different locations we can find soil with different chemical composition, and different pH. Soil can be either acid or alkaline.
most vegetables, as including corn, grow well in acid soil and acidic soil isn't a problem for them.
It is an alkaline substance, which neutralises the acid in the soil.
It depends on the preference of the plant .
