There are many plants that will grow well in alkaline or basic (pH higher than 7) soil.
A good list can be found at this url.

Your soil pH can also be adjusted downwards with commercially available sulphur based products.

Why farmers need to know how basic or acidic the soil?
Plants grow better in soil with the PH (acid-base) they have adapted to. The acidity or the alkalinity of the soil is important to know in order to grow a particular plant. Some plants want a acidic soil and some want a basic soil. However, most plants prefer a neutral to slightly alkaline soil. So, it is important for the farmers to know what type of soil it is in order to balance or neutralize the soil. They should know what type of inorganic substance/fertilizer to add in order to neutralize the soil.
Does plant grow better in soil or water?
Plants generally grow better in soil compared to water, as soil provides essential nutrients, support, and stability for root growth. While some plants can be grown in water (hydroponics), most plants thrive in soil due to the balance of nutrients and oxygen it can provide.
Do plants grow better in water or soil?
I'm almost positive it is soil or else the plant would absorb too much water and die. Hydroponics is the method of growing without soil - works quite well in controlled environs. Some vegetables for the market are grown this way.
Do plant grow bigger in water or soil?
Probably in soil because if you have too much water it will die and living in water is worst soil helps plants develop and it is better for them to have soil. I suggest you put soil. Plants probably grown bigger in soil.i mistake plans grow better in water
Is salt harmful to the soil?
Excessive salt can be harmful to soil by disrupting the balance of nutrients and causing desiccation in plants. It can also hinder water absorption and reduce soil fertility. It is important to monitor and manage salt levels in soil to maintain healthy plant growth.
What are three basic nutrients needed by plants?
Plants need sunlight, water and soil nutrients to grow. Some plants can grow in hydroponic conditions so they get their nutrients in the water and grow without the soil.
When would you not correct pH even if it was acidic or basic soil?
Some plants require acidic or basic soils to grow well. in such cases, we will not correct the pH level of the soil also plants like hydrangea get their colour from such acidic or basic soil
What is the problem about do plants grow better in water or soil?
plants grow better in soil because all the nutrients that are needed for it to grow are in the soil
What is the definition growing medium for plants?
Plants can grow in soil, some grow in water, some grow in sand.
What types of plants grow without soil?
Parasites. Plants such as Mistletoe ( Viscum album) grow on other plants.
Will plants grow any other media aside from soil?
Yes, plants can grow in alternative growing media such as hydroponic systems, coconut coir, perlite, vermiculite, and even water. These media provide plants with nutrients and support for their roots to grow.
What is regeneration in anatomy?
Some plants can grow from parts of plants being stuck in soil.
Why can't plants survive in soil that is to 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-
Do all plants have to grow in soil?
No some grow in the ocean i think seaweed grow in holes of the rock
Why is it important to know the composition of soil?
One reason is to grow certain types of plants. For example some plants grow well in acidic soil and other grow well in akalyne based soil. If you plant the wrong plants, they won't grow well, or will die within a year or more.

Do soil and water has same nutrients that a plant needs to grow?
Yes, the soil will contain some nutrients that help the plants to grow some free radicals present in the will activated by the electron and ions transport that will help the soil to activate those nutrients and helps the plants to grow properly
