Whoever made the sidewalk numbers turned it into ART

[@lambda4931]

Thank you. The sidewalk demo was a good idea.

Lotta heart in this one. Great confidence and candor from Casey. Hailan Zhang enlightens me about soil pH. Shout out to the editor for that beautiful flower shot at the end there. Really relaxing time!

[@douglasquaid]

That demo was fire too.

[@benjaminnavarrete5150]

I wish Dr.Zhang was my science teacher back in highschool.

[@snafu714]

If you’re looking for a video the explains wtf soil ph is, STOP LOOKING. This is the one. ❤️

[@judithsamara3399]

Really well explained.with simple examples.Thank you so much.

[@conflictedrights156]

Good stuff, Casey! At 1:08 I got the big picture of PH spectrum. 'Thank you!

[@bobcuster8930]

Excellent demonstration and science talk!

[@timothyvass]

pH means potential of Hydrogen. The amount of available Hydrogen ions. This will affect the reactivity of the liquid. Acidic and alkaline = more and fewer hydrogen ions compared to pure water at room temperature. Temperature also affects the hydrogen potential.

I use gypsum to get my soil to 5.8 pH, works great, make sure if you get powdered that it is actually all powder and not full of rocks unless you want slow release. Pellets are okay too, I like to let them break down in water. Organic best pH down, because strong, organic, plant based.

[@amyschuman1444]

Love this video, thanks! The use of visual aids is super helpful. :)

[@robertferraro236]

Great video. I hate to be that guy, but a couple of corrections.... at the beginning. Human stomach pH is around 4. It is carnivores such as dogs that can dissolve bones that have stomach pH of 1. Also Magnesium Hydroxide (Milk of magnesia) is not an antacid. It is a laxative. An antacid would be something like Tums. Apart from that, brilliant information delivered.

[@Ammo1013]

Magnesium hydroxide can also be used as an antacid

[@robertferraro236]

@@Ammo1013 Theoretically you are right since it is a hydroxide but it is more often used as a laxative.

[@burgurs]

very informative, thanks

Thank lots for this very interesting and educative video ma'am...

so helpful in my project thanks!

[@salvitiello2738]

OklahomaGardening My pots soil pH slightly going to 8ph my plants love light acid soil of 6,5 pH ! How I can bring the pH down of only 1 ......1 and half ?

[@jollyjokress3852]

I like when the guy explains this to the woman,. It's just so much more comprehensible than when scientists explain it in a very abstract or theoretical way.

[@kazuza9]

Very detailed info. Good video

[@agustasister5624]

I love this guy...tho now im confused about gypsum...

[@ericgauthier3172]

calcium and sulfur :)

[@freemanz4051]

"Like battery acid." (shows ALKALINE batteries, lolz) The acid is found in Lead-Acid batteries, which are less common today than yesterday.

[@ajaypathak8338]

Thank you so much

[@thelegand1]

I’m renovating my garden because there was an 8-10 layer of clay under ~10 inches of top soil, after 2 years the soil has become saturated and is now ruined. I’ve taken all the ruined soil and clay out and I’m now left with a 20 inch excavation plus a soakaway which I have centred in the middle. I’m putting down a layer of drainage gravel on the base and having that channel towards to soakaway, and on top of that premium quality top soil. I’m thinking 8 inch layer of gravel and 12 inch layer of soil with a pourous membrane separating them. Would this be ok to grow grass on? Many thanks

[@kaluvanhariharan4256]

nicely presented

Very simple she is more acidic and he is more alkaline, may I correct to understand compost. (we have to take medical knowledge support). How to make strong natural compost.

[@FranciscoJrDy]

Good presentation. Informative

[@66bigbuds]

Most Garden plants prefers a ph of 6.3-6.8

[@MahdiBanners]

very informative video. Thank you

[@njankarshakan6786]

What is the best product I could buy to increase the PH level.

[@mightymite3958]

Idk about the soil but the water we get in Roland ok is high in ph, per water test from petco . how will that effect the soil?

[@davidchang5862]

Good teachers and educators simply have no time for talks and theories. Instead, they will rather give a demo or show you the practical aspects of science and in this case gardening

[@ravindarsingh3101]

I love this video

Mr maiagie- the flow of the flower

[@br33zy771]

wait wait wait. Are you saying my plants won't grow in drain cleaner?

[@MrGaborseres]

Yo yo yo gardeners.... Greetings ✌️🙂... Ok... Confession....I made a dumb mistake..... I added lime to raise pH when I should have added sulfur to lower it I already have my garden planted 😧..... Now what.... 🤔.... Help me.... Thank you 👍

[@ghulamsarwarmastoi4173]

Dear Great Information, YOu are so beautiful as your knowledge is beautiful. Like you

[@denyswoodroffe490]

This is only a rough guide only. Ca % in the base saturation, would be a better guide. As Ph is made up of a number of elements.

[@patrickong4312]

Thank you for educating us about HP of the soil. I appreciated🤗😍 Question: If all my newly added EARTHWORMS Died in my Pot. ①What does it tells me? ②What shld I do,so that I cld re-introduce a New Batch of Earthworms into that pot? Thank you,I hope you can help me with this 😘😘

[@Michael-vo3tk]

They could die for many reasons, too dry or wet are likely.

[@Stilgar74]

not that simple.... lowering ph still makes certain micronutrients bound (not bio available)... acid loving plants like blueberries etc technically are thriving in low redox (low oxygen) .. the common mistake is to intepret low PH as low PH as opposed to a result of (or in combination) of low redox (EH). Addressing EH in combination with PH by restricting oxidizing inputs will ensure much more nutrients are bio-available

[@mumtazkhan8016]

gr8 informative,

[@benjaminnavarrete5150]

Did they not mention ph up or ph down because it's not organic or something?

[@dubsbarry9963]

They did mention a number of ways to raise and lower PH. If you're talking about your cannabis growing solution, Liquid PH Up/Down, it's probably because that's made for PH equalization of water, not soil.

[@wongjiinloong9209]

how much for all the price ???

[@salvitiello2738]

Hi can you help me with this ? My pots soil pH slightly going to 8ph my plants love light acid soil of 6,5 pH ! How I can bring the pH down of only 1 ......1 and half ?

[@sebandersenwood]

hi, you can use acidic fertilisers such as ammonium salts or iron sulphate. alternatively moss peat, compost or pine needles will all bring the pH down.

[@shepherdguy.]

Hi there, I think as most easy you can use the white vinegar if you wanna low your soil pH. Also if use the vinegar cheapest way. For example I'm using vinegar to my blueberries. any no problem

[@melvynrutterreedbeds]

lemon juice is more like 3.6 and cola and beer 4.3, sorrt for being picky

[@lynnwylin8235]

very cool

[@bigbadbamboo1]

Soda "pop" 🤣 love it

[@WickedG5150]

Where did you get your horticulture certification?

[@aasifamin9554]

Nice... Mam

[@melvynrutterreedbeds]

er very few plants like more than 8.5, agricultural crops enjoy 6 to 6.6. So the "sweet spot between 7 and 14" is not correct. A pH of 12 ( bleach ) will do as much damage as a pH of 1. I did so want to learn something here. What I learned was not to watch silly youtube videos on this topic

[@hosoiarchives4858]

What is alkalinity? That is acid burns, what does alkaline do

[@thedevilsadvocate5210]

Hosoi Archives it burns as well

[@hosoiarchives4858]

The Devil's Advocate so what is the difference

[@sebandersenwood]

I recommend looking up the GCSE bitesize or a similar school revision page on acids and bases (bases make things alkaline) for a basic overview (pun intended). in short, an acid has lots of H+ ions which can cause damage which we coloquialy call "burns". a strongly alkali solution has lots of OH- ions which can also cause "burns". when we mix the two together (H+ and OH-) we get H20 (AKA water).
