Dirt Matters

As we will learn from Byron on Tuesday, the pH of your soil is very important! Below is a link I ran across about testing your soil.

The first method involves using a commercial tester (maybe we should look into how much these cost and all share one). Methods two and three use items we all have around the house - or at least we easily could.

Method two = you boil some red cabbage and put it in various cups and add soil to it. This looks like a fun science experiment to try as a family!

Method three = uses baking soda and vinegar.

Lots to learn here!
