Before planting trees, shrubs and grass, it’s best to first identify the pH of your soil. pH is a measure of your soil acidity or alkalinity. A proper pH helps plants to absorb, food, water and other trace elements more easily. Your plants will also grow healthier and resist diseases and insects better with the correct soil pH.
