Yes, Alkaline. In our main garden, we use a meter that shows it to be at 6.8 PH. However, there are areas outside the garden with no soil amendments that I have tested at 5.5 PH

I'm going to send in a soil sample to Texas A&M to have it correctly tested this Fall.

Looks like I've got a lot of reading to do. Thanks for all the replies everyone.

6.8 and 5.5 are actually slightly acidic, not alkaline. The 5.5 areas could use adjustment for most veggies but a Texas a&m test is where I'd start before monkeying.

You are right. I meant acidic.

Having to take meds for pain stinks.
