A pH of 6.5 to 7.0 is considered by many to be "neutral". However, each type of plant has a soil pH that is right for that plant. A soil pH of range of 5.8 to 7.0 is considered suitable for most garden crops and lawns. A soil test should be performed prior to using Hydrated Lime to establish the correct amount to use.
