pH Control of Organic Soil - not to be sniffed at

troutman; I'm not sure what your point is.

I just read too many biochemistry books are went on a tangent.

Just use pH down and pH up like everybody else. No need to complicate things.

I was referring to root and microbial excretions. Amino acids and organic acids are 2 different things. (in my world anyway)

Good articles. When I went to school, we were taught that the organic acids discussed were only given off when the plant had deficiencies. That the true acids were amino acids. One of those articles hinted at that but didn't come to those conclusions....

Haven't delved into this type conversation in years. You are of course are correct, amino and organic acids are 2 different things in everyones world. Thanks for putting me on the straight and narrow!
