I have been testing my soil with a soil testing kit i bought for $15 at the local hardware store. I tested my soil PH of a plant i was having problems with and it was 7.5 so i adjusted the water with some lemon juice and then tested the water with the soil testing kit and my water was reading off the charts for highly alkaline even after i adjusted with a little lemon juice. I was wondering if the water itself is alkaline. I use a large swimming pool to treat my water for iron and other heavy metals so my first thought was possibly sun exposure? I also wonder if it matters that i am using a soil testing kit and not a water testing kit.
Can anyone help?
