what is the average ph of this peat moss?

ph 6.5-7.5 average, the decay will change to more acidic, it can be soil tested

Great name! Thanks for the question. The ph range is from 6.0-10(in the red) - end padThis test kit is nice and easy, tests for Bacteria, lead, pesticide, nitrates and PH. I have been testing evrey 2-3 months since I am in PA along the fracking belt and recently my township has converted to Philadelphia public water, no more well water. All the best!

I was having the same issue in a very well planted aquarium. I got a good test kit and found that the pH was too high and the water was too alkaline. So, I have been slowly adding substrate and driftwood pieces that will bring the pH down and used a water softener pillow. After about a week, I think I am seeing berries - no little ones yet, but I am very hopeful.

Im not sure what the optimal ph is but, i have 2 clone king machines and i put in water with a ph of 5.6 to 5.8 just like my hydro stuff, and i havent lost 1 clone in 6 batches of clones

Not necessasarily you need to look online and ask a nursery a garden shop call them for best mix I have Peat moss:perlite and try to grow vegetables and insect eating plants the mix is different per type of plant I think you may have to add 4 soil count to 1 or 1:1 depending on your location

Your need keep checking the ph level, once a month. I suggest you go to Salaxx web site I check what they recomend, you can find some information in youtube too.

It's pretty standard, you know, dirt, hard to say more exactly without a formal chemical assay. Is there something specific for which you're looking, either in high or low proportions?From observation, it definitely has a higher proportion of peat than most soils, and most of the aggregate is quite fine wood chips. There is very little in the way of gravel and/or sand as far as I've observed.Perhaps if you can ask more specifically with regards to what you need, someone could say.

negative. This is preserved and dyed moss. I've worked with it for years, and definitely have never "watched it continue to grow." If it gets crusty, you can revive it by letting it soak in water, but note: it is still dead.

I would use organic sphanagan peat moss mixed with ready to use potting mix

sorry, i can't help you with the chemical composition. I live on the West Coast near Washington and the water here is almost perfect at 5.5 or 6. You will need very little ( a few drops ) to drive the ph up or down. This product does work. Google " How to change your water's ph " and you will get lots of advice. If your ph is too high or low your plant nutrient food will sediment out and be impossible to be utilized by the plant. I suggest that you get proper hydroponic plant food. I no longer use this product but first step is to find out what your waters ph is.This will help. Good luck. sorry, i can't help you with the chemical composition.

As a rule of thumb, five pounds of sulfur per 1000 square feet of lawn or garden will usually lower the pH of sandy soil approximately .5 pH unit. Heavier soils require more. It is recommended that no more than 10 pounds per thousand square feet be used at any application, to avoid plant burning. The results are usually temporary, depending on what is causing the elevated pH. You should contact your county agricultural agent for information more pertinent to your situation. Also, for a good discussion refer to the document ifas.ufl.edu SL256/SS480.

Soil pH. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity. pH 7.0 is neutral, pH 4.5 is acidic, like vinger. pH 9.2 is alkaline or basic, like calcium carbonate in antiacids, e.g., Tums, or lime. Lawns and other plants grow best at certain pH's.

Peat is just to soften the water. I mix mine but place in mesh bag because they float.

no, I don't believe so. The ph is somewhere around 6 (peat is naturally acidic) and while I haven't seen any evidence of fungus or such it was not labeled as sterile. I have used a bit for seed-starting and blending potting mixes, but my primary use is as a filter medium for a freshwater acidic aquarium where is helps balance the ph of the aquarium water (ph of 6.2) while removing some of the hardness of the tap water. I sift out the finest particles and fibers, put in a fine mesh bag and soak it overnight, rinse it, and put the bag in one of my aquarium filters. it removes both temporary and permanent hardness, sequesters heavy metals, buffers the ph and releases small amounts of tannins and organic compounds into the water which is good for my south-american blackwater tank.

The bottle says that the color code is light bluish for 8.5 and higer, so you probably wont be able to accuratly tell what the ph is if it higher. If your just testing regular things like your gardens water you will almost never get any reading that are higher than 8 or lower than 4 (or atleast i would hope so). Hope it helps a little!

This meter's pH scale doesn't vary much above and below 7.0. Most people have a liquid available at the store they can use to do a quick check, distilled water, which under ideal conditions should have a pH of 7. If the scale is off by even a factor of .5, it could really hurt your plants.Some basic chemistry calculations: Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1x10^-14 at 25°Cfor pure water [H+] = [OH-] = 1x10-7Acidic Solution: [H+] > 1x10-7pH = log10[H+]Basic Solution: [H+] < 1x10-7When calculating pH, remember that [] refers to molarity, M.

pH is slightly low but not that bad, above 6. I add a little crushed coral in a bag just in case. Check out our flood and drain aquaponics set up!www.aquapaolics.wordpress.com to see it in action at our school
