Acid or Alkaline?
Your soil may contain all the elements for optimal
plant growth, but if its acidity/alkalinity level is wrong for what you
grow, plants will not be able to access the elements, or they may get
too much. This blog post covers how to measure acidity/alkalinity, and
how to adjust it, if it needs adjusting.

Pruning Berries
As I get more varieties of berries in my garden, it becomes harder to remember how each variety should be pruned, so I decided to document what I knew, add more detail, and ask others with expertise in this area for input and feedback. Here is the result.
