Soil PH?
Recently built a wall, on the shady side of which I intend growing plants
that like acid soil conditions, my intention is to remove some soil (and therefore the worst of my cement droppings) replace with an ericaceous mix, my natural soil here is slightly acid, my question is how much lime will the new wall leach into the soil? is there anything that can be used perhaps to neutralize this? (seem to remember some stuff they used to use to preserve eggs, changes the chemical composition of concrete, I think that was called ising glass or water glass) Or will I be ok to leave well alone? -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
