I’ve been also used and taught (even by biologist) to adjust pH in soil… So I had to check the Biobizz page now
Do you need to adjust the pH of Biobizz nutrients after you mix them up?
No. With Biobizz you are feeding the soil and specifically the microbes in the soil. So you can let those microbes and the roots of your plants adjust the pH in the root zone – you don’t need to change the pH of the nutrient solution before you water it in. If you must adjust the pH, don’t worry, it won’t necessarily help your garden, but it will not hurt your plants.
How can I influence the pH value?
If the pH of the water you’re using is much higher than the standard pH value of 7.0-7.3, you could try using apple vinegar or citric acid to reduce its acidity – aim for a value between 6.8 and 7.2. Once it’s nearer the correct level, add the Biobizz nutrient.
How do you balance the pH/EC of Biobizz soil/fertilizer?
When using Biobizz soils, you don’t need to measure the EC and pH value like you would when using a mineral medium. Biobizz products only contain natural organic elements, giving them a very low Electrical Conductivity (EC) value. And while the organic elements can’t be measured, they do have a self-regulating system, which helps maintain the pH values at the correct level.
So I now know why we can’t agree on one answer …
You both guys are right…
Of course I know that soil has its natural properties and can balance itself… (that is why we recommend it to beginners without any need for EC or pH meter)
The problem is that here tap water can have easily pH 8, so majority of growers use some kind of adjuster to turn it little bit down into range that BioBizz is recommending.
I also don’t think that few drops of acid extremely diluted to water can damage life in soil…
