Using some small reusable containers, collect soil samples from different patches of your garden – flower beds, pots and ground soil and leave to dry out before testing.
Measure half a cup of vinegar and mix with equal parts baking soda and pour into the sample containers to determine the acidity of your soil.
A neutral pH level is measured as seven, with acidic substances measuring below and alkaline substances measuring above this figure.
While you won’t have any means of knowing the exact figure using this DIY soil test, the general rule of thumb is that the soil will begin to bubble when you add the mixture if it is alkaline (above seven) – if it doesn’t, it is acidic.
