Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It's gotten a lot colder over the past few days.

I guess this is how ski resorts are just getting by these days?

After all, people have been saying since last year that we’d have heavy snow this year.

It looks like the winter tires I finally switched to at the end of November last year are finally going to come in handy.

But that's beside the point.

So, I've written down the hardness.

If that were true, given the timing,It's better not to plant greenery in the winter.I suppose I should write something like that, but,

This time, it's about pH (pH value) lol

 

If you Google "pH,"

pH is measured on a scale from 0 to 14, ranging from acidic to alkaline, and

It indicates the degree of acidity or alkalinity based on the numbers on the scale, and

pH 7 is considered neutral, and values below that are acidic,

If it is higher than that, it is considered alkaline.

The lower the value is below pH 7, the more acidic it is, and

The higher the value, the stronger the alkaline properties.

That's what it says.

This is an illustration I featured in a previous article, but,

Generally speaking, there’s no problem as long as the soil’s pH is neutral to slightly acidic.

If the value is between 7 and 5, it should be sufficient to control most weed growth,

Unless there are special circumstances, it is unlikely to have any effect.

As for how to measure pH,

Most of them are designed to be stuck into the soil.

We're measuring by passing a very small current through the circuit, but the needle in the photo above is

I haven't really seen it move that much lol
(I hope it's not broken, lol)

I guess that means it's pretty much neutral, lol.

Unless the surrounding mountainsides are completely barren,

With landscaping, there's probably nothing that won't grow. (Except for plants that get eaten by wildlife.)

If you want to take more detailed measurements,

This is a solution-type product where you dissolve the soil in the standard solution.
(It's actually kind of a hassle, lol)

I have this pH meter myself, but,

It's not suitable for on-site use because it requires proofreading and other processes.

Stabbing-type weapons really are best for the field, lol.

On site,Roughly NeutralAs long as I understand that,

See you later.
