A soil test kit and it was reading dark green which is 7.5. Just got a digital ph tester for water and the water being used is around the same. Watered for the first time with water that was ph'd so hoping this will bring the soil ph down. Does this sound right, Should I still trying using something to mix into the soil to bring it down. Could the high ph water and soil cause the damage to the leaves in the pictures? I was also useing nuts every time I watered which I know was a big no no. Going to try every other time.
