So what about flushing? That's always a tried and true attention getter, eh?

lol Indeed. Finding consensus on some key elements of growing in here is liking finding hen's teeth.

Me too!.....except when I actually do stumble.I actually skip and do a little singing through mine...
Look at pH only if you care what the hell you are doing. Most of you guys will stumble through your lil 3 month trips over and over with no problems that you'll note in your current, single location. And with that experience, in the absence of insight and utter lack of controls,,, with this lack of knowledge, you'll all skip away thinking all is fine and dandy/hunky-dory, purdy much,,, whilst you continue to go merrily along handing out the very worst of advice to folks. -Tom (just checking-in )
Could you explain it to a dimwit like myself?
Much appreciated!

Gotta' love the Dig............always a balanced approach. A bit more graceful than most of us..myself included.EDIT- deleted b/c Tom's post above is entirely reasonable. And because I don't like making enemies by arguing over DIRT.

Oh come on guys,
I was just poking fun as the standard answer in here use to be to add wc, lime, and throw the meter away. That one always got under my skin. It seems now there is a more knowledgeable crowd hanging around and thanks for that. Shelving the meter for a while after being certain of tolerable range is a much better answer for sure.
Still, tolerable pH range usually does not equal optimum range and in time, this can add up to problematic was my point.
What works at any given site B (my site, your site, pedros), will definitely not work at all given site C's. Therefore, any type of blanket advice (except "meters are our friends") usually falls short of the mark imo. -T
i made an organic soil mix and the pH seems to run a little too high (over 7), for my soil mix still in the barrel what's the best thing to add to bring pH down into the mid 6 range?
