i tested my root ball ph of 1 gallon pots it was 4.6 so i tried flushing it did nothing
so i fixed new soil and added lime with cal and mag the soil is now 6.5 so i
transplanted the root ball to new soil in ten gallon pots will the root be fine or do i still have to worry about root ball ph that is low or will it be fine when it grows into new 6.5 ph soil
theres no way of changing the ph in roots soil because its wraped around soil should i top dress with lime and let water go into roots will the do the trick
