    Hey guys, i could use some help with some soil issues. i have created my own blend of soil containing hyponex potting soil, perlite, peat moss, and lime. my issue is with the lime. i have no way of testing the soil properly. i have added 3 cups of lime. i would say it is about 30 gallons of soil. is that enough? i have read that peat moss is very acidic and i am worried about moving my 8 girls into the new soil before im possitive. any feedback would be much appriciated. Thanks a lot and belated happy 420!

    What you need is a pH tester. I bought mine for 14.99 from my local hardware store.

    There is pretty much no way we can tell you if it's safe. You need to invest in a pH meter. - W
