First, what is causing your pH to be high? Calcium, Magnesium,
Potassium, and Sodium all effect the pH to the + side. Depending on
the cause of your high pH, different solutions may be possible.
Usually the % base saturation on your soils report is a good place to
look for what is out of balance. Ideally, you should be at 68% Ca,
12% Mg, 4% K and 2% Na.
