We were heading up to the Community Garden to talk with Mr Tozer who is in charge up there and we decided to look at the soil types that are there.
We found out that there are two main types....acid and alkaline. Some plants prefer one type and some plants grow better in the other type.
We read that if you put white vinegar and water mixed in with the soil sample and it bubbles then your soil is more likely to be acid and if the soil with baking soda and water bubbles its more likely to be alkaline. So we tried and it wasn't very exciting!!!We were expecting a major reaction and all we got was a little bubbling. We decided thar the community garden soil from the part we tested was more likely to be slightly acid.
