If you are a seasoned gardener you may already know how important the type of soil you have in your garden is, and how this type and its pH value can affect the type of plants you want to grow.
Soil pH is a measure of the soils acidity or alkalinity. Most plants differ in their requirements regarding the pH of the soil. As a general rule pH 7 or neutral should support most plants however some prefer slightly acidic conditions and others slightly alkaline.
It is important to test your soil using a do-it-yourself tester kit before you start as this may have an impact on your choice of plants.
As a footnote, many plants foliage or flowers can change colour in relation to pH level of the soil.
