Bagh-e-Abdul or The garden of a man

[abdul]

Things come along very nicely, lots of cucumber seedlings up and running and a couple more coming up too, they're not big enough to tell what they are yet, but next weeks update should have lots of new green in it

[abdul]

Things going well, think pH is too high though, will try to lower it in a few days with some more iron sulphate and sulphate of potash, right after i get my test kit and fin out what the pH is!!!

[urbanfarmer]

What is the pH at?

[abdul]

Have no test kit so no idea :[

Have litmus paper, did a test with that about a month ago and it was basic. Will do another tonight. Hopefully should have test kit in a day or so.

[urbanfarmer]

Why are you using iron sulphate and sulphate of potash to lower the pH instead of vinegar or hydrochloric acid (food grade of course)?

[abdul]

I'm using it to add iron and potassium, the pH lowering is just a beneficial by product.

Going to use lemons to lower pH once I have a kit and can measure it :[

Look look!
