pH, short for "potential of hydrogen," is a fundamental concept when creating a garden. Potential of hydrogen expresses the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a soil on a scale of 1 to 14.

It's always a good idea to test your garden soil to adjust the pH before planting anything. A neutral, well-balanced soil will have a pH of 7, while a pH below 7 indicates acidic soil. Conversely, a pH above 7 indicates alkaline soil, containing lime.

Most soils have a pH between 4 and 9, the ideal being slightly acidic soil (6.5) which is suitable for most plants.
