Ph for square foot garden method

[jhook1997]

I read over and over and over about how important it is have the right ph for different types of plants but am at a loss as to how to accomplish this when using the square foot method in raised beds. Most of my beds are 4'x4' and I grow as many as 6 or 8 varieties of vegetables in that one bed. Soooo, question how do I make all those plants happy?

I've been pretty successful without ever having even checked the ph but I'm sure my production could be better.

If your soil falls between 6 and 7 on the pH scale I would think you would grow just about anything well.

I have a hard time imagining how you could possibly adjust the pH for every individual square foot in a bed to suit the particular nuance of each vegetable. What then happens the next time you plant that section with a different vegetable?

Since you say you have been successful growing in the past, I would suggest you do what's always worked for you.

Adjust soil pH to 6.71439

Kidding aside, an ever so slightly acidic soil helps with mineral uptake, but a lot of us have slightly acidic rain and are getting soil that decomposes into an acidic state anyway.

Is there anything unusual or noteworthy about the soil you're using?
