My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Kiwi and soil pH

17 years ago

How sensitive are kiwi to soil pH below 6.5? (I just put in Issai.) I know I need to have my soil tested, but I live in the mountains and blueberries, rhodies, azaleas, mountain laurel all grow wild on my property, so I can assume it is quite a bit less than 6.5.

If I need to raise it, what is recommended and when?

Thanks!

Jeanne
