Question

What is the pH of the soil in your backyard?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The degree of acidity and alkalinity is measured on a scale of 0-14, with a pH of 7 neutral, 0-7 acidic, and 7-14 alkaline. The ideal soil pH for vegetables and lawn grasses is 6.5, just a little on the acidic side.

Answer 2

Answer:

The term pH (ponderous hydrogen) stands for hydrogen ion activity and describes how acidic or alkaline an aqueous (mostly) solution is.

• The range is from 0 (the most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline). By mixing 1:2 or 1:5 of water with dry soil to create a suspension, it is possible to quantify the hydrogen ion concentration in the soil solution.

• The type of parent material from which the soil is generated, rainfall (heavy rainfall leaches the bases out, making the soils acidic), organic matter content, and other factors all affect the pH of the soil.

• The pH of the soil can range from very acidic (pH 4-5) to neutral (pH 6.5–7.5) to sodic (pH 8.5) (alkali). From the perspective of plant growth and the soil's ability to give nutrients, a neutral pH is regarded as ideal.

assuming the pH of the soil in our backyard is fit for the growth of various plants and vegetables that are later consumed by the household, the ideal pH of the soil in one's backyard should be around 6-8.
