The Atlanta Ag’s May
4-H meeting got a little dirty!!!
4-H members learned
about Soil pH.
Each person picked a fruit or vegetable taped to a popsicle stick.
They checked to see what the pH level should be for the item they
picked. We had 3 cups of soil – one had levels of highly acidic, one
that was neutral, and one had high levels of alkaline.
Members noticed that
the Illinois soil with a NEUTRAL pH level grows a lot of things we
eat. Kids learned that plants need a balanced diet from the
soil just like we need to feed our bodies with good nutrients to
support our growth.
