When buying plants for your garden, there’s a high chance that you choose them based on looks alone. And while we’re all guilty of judging a plant by its colour, you also need to consider your soil when buying new plants and opt for the best plants to grow according to your soil’s pH.
Yes, nothing ruins a garden idea quite like choosing the wrong plants for your soil. That’s why we’re huge advocates for testing the pH of your soil and buying plants that will thrive in your garden borders. But knowing whether you have acidic or alkaline soil is only half the battle when it comes to your soil’s pH.
