Anyone Willing to Help a Struggling Biology Student? - November 7th, 2005 at 05:31 AM
HI!
I'm testing how pH affects the germination and growth of soybeans
I'm going to have 3 plants, one with acidic soil, one with basic soil and one with neutral soil
Can anyone tell me how to raise or lower the pH of soil?
"3.6 ounces of sulfur per square yard acidity"
and
"8 ounces of lime per square yard for alkalinity"
^awesome help, but the thing is, I'm having a lot of trouble converting to centimetres and milliletres!
I have my materials ready:
A pH tester (not sure if it's working)
Sulfur Powder
Dolomite Lime Pellets
Potting Soil
Considering you all are seasoned and able gardeners unlike myself, I hope you can give me some pointers and hopefully I can ace this project!
I feel so stupid! I chose such a tough topic for my project
