[substeps] You can also light up your garden with a match. As long as the soil temperature is higher than the ideal range, the baking soda can be effective. The value of the ph of your soil will determine the concentration of baking soda you should use. [substeps] As you sprinkle the baking soda, make sure to stand facing a window for a close-up view. You want to make sure the area you're messing with is not draining too deeply into the ground. A warmer, wetter spot will produce a higher ph. If it begins to bubble, your soil is acidic, meaning its ph is below 5, and will not be able to support healthy plant growth. [substeps] If your soil is acidic, you can raise its ph level by mixing ground or powdered lime into the soil.
