pH problem

May have to grab a soil test kit.

Maples prefer pH range 3.7 to 6.5 (acidic)

Blueberries also prefer acidic soils, 4.0 to 5.0

Citrus prefer closer to neutral, 6.0 to 7.0, and cherry/apples also like 6.5 to 7.0.

Finger Limes? This guy: http://tiliaris.wordpress.com/ is growing finger limes in the Hunter and they mention that their target pH range is 5.5 to 6.5.

Mmmm, the scent of soil science on the horizon...
