Peat moss is also acidic. So when added to a other soil it can help balance ph out. Peat moss naturally comes in at 5.5 and after amended with organic nutrients it will settle out at around 6.5 helping somepeople who have problems keeping their soil slightly acidic.
While it hasn't 100% keep my ph in balance it does make it easier to maintain. Which is a big reason most people wind up with Deficiencies from ph lock out..
Use lime in peat to maintain ph. Nutrients controlling your ph will cause big drifts between watering. HP pro mix is a great example of it being done VERY well.
@Shrewparadox I have no problems with it adding it to a living cococoir soil mix. And add a few extra organic dry amendments.
Could be the amount of Epsom salt I use too which also helps raise ph. I have never had to use lime
@@Shrewparadox it's not the nutrients controlling your ph between watering...... it the shear fact that the soil is drier and drier soils have higher ph..... do some tests....take pure organic soil and dry it out. You will see it's ph go up, and clearly it has nothing do with added nutrients....
@@soulseeker42388 as you likely know, lime would give you calcium and the mg you are trying to add with epsom salt (but not the sulphur), and of course, lower your soil ph. I am inclined to think a small dose a epsom salt in a compost tea is more than sufficient, and a small dose a lime too in that tea, assuming your base tea is around 6ph at start, you have room to move it up a bit with those materials before application. I use aged leaf mold soil and compost as my base for tea, adding small amounts of wood ash and molasses during the beginning of flower..... 800gallon pots of leaf mold soil. SOme lime does not have mg.... have to read label.
@curiousbystander9193 I use city tap water (declorhinated) which has calcium also I use oyster shell as my source of calcium. Which I'm sure also helps buffer ph. I ph my water to 6.0 all the time for every feeding so evennif I swing up alittle during the drying phase (the soil drying after water). It goes right back to 6.0 when I water.
you say peat has no impact on soil chemistry, then briefly mention it might affect ph a little..... come on now, it's effect on ph of your soil can be substantial, especially if it's not buffered peat....... this is one way to lower your soil ph, as I am sure you know..... this soil chemistry modification can have a huge impact on crop performance, cause as you know 6-6.5 ph is better for nutrient assimilation compared to 7-7.5.....across the course of a plants life the outcomes can be substantial.. great science experiment...... seen way more caana crops thrive at 5.5 ph than 7.5 ph soil.....less disease with 5.5 soil
