Watched 10+ videos about ph balance in soil, this video was by far the most educational and complete. Now I understand what ph balances are. My only complaint is, I wish I watched this video 1st.
@@Counter-Intuitive the issue is usually the irrigation water and the fact that we are irrigating with salt laden water in the first place. They also dont mention that leaching all the salts out of the ground causes ecological damage to water bodies. If you're just a gardener, the best thing to do is plant a lot of natives and build soil. Make permaculture. It is much better for the environment. There are a few good soil documentaries that explain all of this, but adding organic matter to the soil is key. That and the fact that rainwater is almost zero TDS is why nature is able to grow things for millions of years without the soil becoming salty. There are many edible and beautiful native plants you can grow.
I do not have drainage problem but have all the same rest. I sorted cropping out with high amounts of organic matter incorporated along with high populations of subsoil microbes. No chemicals involved. Very easy and cost effective.
brassicas fix Ca/Mg at higher rates than other veggies -- on a much smaller scale, would radish/cabbage (assuming you have the nitrogen) help lower phs?
Make your own vinegar which will have a lower pH than store bought vinegar. Make at least 10,000 liters at a time and VENTURI this into your main irrigation pipes. Repeat several times as the vinegar matures. This is the organic way to do it. SUFUR and bacteria do not go together well.
Hello sir I am indian my work is agriculture .but one sir your corn seeds available you sir .I am very interested for your agriculture techniques and interested .so please answer me sir . available from your country corn seeds ?
I'm my soil there are alot of small white stones that can be crushed by stepping on them or even by hands. The drainage is good because its on a slope. I want to pent but it looks like its going to cost to prepare the land
Great information. Thanks. Put a lot of lime in a pot. The eggplant leaves are curled. Added sulphur, but still not going. I will add a bit more and add compost.
