I’ve been checking my garden’s pH every few weeks with a simple kit. When it starts creeping up, I usually add a light dusting of garden lime or crushed eggshells—both raise the pH slowly and naturally. A thick layer of compost or leaf mold under a mulch blanket also helps stabilize acidity over time. I also plant a few acid‑tolerant herbs like mint or nasturtium; they can take up some of the excess acidity. How does your backyard look? Any particular plants you’re hoping to keep happy?
