Five things to know about soil pH, and how to get the best fertilizer recommendations
I recommend keeping the soil pH between 5.5 and 8.5 when you are managing fine turfgrass. This episode explains why that is the recommended range, and also considers the recent GCSAA nutrient survey and the phenomenon of different N, P, and K application rates between those who soil test and those who do not.
