I recently purchased this product to start a new outdoor grow. All the components look good but I can't find the pH anywhere. Has anyone else used this soil? Do you know the pH? I don't live where I have access to it being tested. Thanks!
 
Welcome Costavista! IMO that soil is very much like a supersoil in that as long as you have beneficial microbes established in it you do not have to pH your soil as they will regulate the nutrients at the roots so they are available to the plant in a usable form without pH correction. Unsulphered molasses will feed the microbes and keep them happy.
 
Though living soil does not need to be PH'd I still do as I have had issues (I build my own soil and have seen it crash to ~4.0), so I will recommend you get something to test the PH of your soil, I dont like the elcheapo's and spent a tad over $300 US dollars for mine. My plants look better this year, for me, money well spent!
 
Thanks, I assumed that but have seen different opinions and I'm just trying to be sure. I only grow a small amount, so $300 is a lot to layout for a soil tester. Everything I've read about cheap testers leads me to believe they're a waste of money. I'll check runoff from watering to make sure that I'm not getting any reading to worry about. Appreciate your response, happy growing!
 
A low budget solution to measuring Ph is Ph testing solution. Simple drops added to the test vial with the test sample, changes color, match the color to the chart. It lets you know what range you are in.
