Someone told me to take the tea soil to neutral

  1. Someone told me to take the tea soil to neutral
  2. pH 4.9. The next county’s grain fields are liming. Someone told me to take the tea garden to 7.
  3. Tea tolerates acid; grain is not ‘the more acid the better’. Those are two sentences. Don’t push tea to neutrality. Heavy lime on already-bald roots hurts the bush. Small dose, away from the collar, retest.
