So I got my results back and my ph is 5.8 so I want to bring it up to about 6.8 but I'm not sure if the ph levels are higher or lower in the fall vs spring.

Anyone know ?

Soil Temperature and Moisture will affect PH

Alot can depend on whats normal in your area...here we correct to 7.0 from a natural of around mid to high 5's.....so patch tends to want to correct downward. Out west where they have carbonate soils they add sulfer etc to get it down....and it tends to want to correct upward throughout the season and winter......

I tested in the spring and it was at 6.6 but then it dropped to 5.8 in the fall and I didn't know if that was normal. I guess from the responses that seems about right.
