What is the right Soil pH Level for my Plants
A pH of 6.5 is just about right for most home gardens, since most plants thrive in the 6.0 to 7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral) range. Some plants (blueberries, azaleas) prefer more strongly acidic soil, while a few (ferns, asparagus) do best in soil that is neutral to slightly alkaline.
Pipettes:
Volume: 3ml. These soft pliable pipettes could save your time when adding accurate amounts of ph UP or Down into your vile for ph adjustment. Know more when transferring liquids with the added easy to read graduated lines at 0.5 ml. Some people even use these 3 ml pipettes for aromatherapy to use when measuring out fragrant essential oils.
