yeah, that kinda worked for me for a short while,, its a good fallback, just until you can afford the right stuff,, but its not a one time thing, do this every water until your PH is at or around 6-6.5, and you should be good, as mockingbird said it works, just keep checking your runoff until your at or around 6-6.5..............

what is the "right stuff" lol i heard i can get something to lower my ph at a pool store. Acctually wierd thing happend i went to wal mart and picked up some ph strips and white vinegar. and when i got home i checked the ph of the bottom portion of my oil and the top. the very bottom was nuetral and the top was at about 8. freakin wierd. now what? lol

ok, first things first,,, "the right stuff" is a movie that was made in the 80s,,, but thats not important right now,,,,, and as for your oil,,,, sure you meant soil,,,, the top should be less if you watered with vinigar,,, eventually your runoff will get lower,,, check when watered,,, but dont get carried away and water too much or put too much vinigar,,, just be careful and watch your plant/s to make sure all is ok......

oh yeah,, as always,,, remember,, Im not exactly a pro at this but from my experiences these are my opinons,,, just trying to help a brother out.....

i trust u sun i am going to try that tommorrow and hopefully it will work. sounds like dependable advice to me

the only thing I wanted to add is that lime is alkaline not acidic so the lime is why your ph is high if you added more lime it would go up. Organic sulfur will make it go down but it takes more time than you want it too. I like the vinegar myself.
