Hi folks, is anyone familiar with soil/compost ph who can answer me this.
We are trying no dig and got a lot of spent mushroom compost which we've made beds with. I then read that mushroom compost tends to be alkaline so shouldn't be used on fruit. So I decided to check with a soil pH testing kit, but it's showing as acidic - around 5.5-6.0
Can mushroom compost be acidic? Or could the test not be working properly because it's compost instead of soil? (Maybe a stupid question, I'm not a chemist!)
Kind of worried we've gone and made all our veg beds too acidic now
