ph FOR TOMS
« on: April 27, 2007, 21:16 »
My plot neighbour takes the mick slightly for me spending time on this forum, "The internet thing".
But today he gave me a question to ask:
What pH is the best for soil for tomatoes?
I said I thought - since its the same family as spuds, it should be 6-7, slightly acid.
Am I right :roll:

Yep I reckon your about there Jim

After I did a google  :lol:  6.5 seems the average that's mentioned.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Well perhaps your plot neighbour has never had a question and no one around to try to answer it for him, and perhaps he never needs to have a bit of a laugh or a cry????

I only got back into gardening 3 years ago, and my plot is my garden, I don't have a lottie, so apart from an OH who thinks he knows everything, I had to manage on my own with my books until I found this site.  I have learnt such a lot over the past year and a bit, and I've made new friends, introduced some old ones to this site and have had more laughs than I've had for years, so please tell your lottie neighbour to go..........

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

or if he's got a computer, give him the link!!!!!!  :lol:  :lol:

Many thanks for your comments RR and GA. THIS REALLY IS A GREAT FORUM, and so easy that even I can find my way round it.
I too have learnt such a lot very quickly and everyone is so friendly,
Jim
PS I must ask (I'm ignorant about all these Abreviations - someone should make a glossary) What does OH mean?
