1 - Analysing your soil
Close window

Chalky soil
  • Alkaline, with a pH of 7.5 or more
  • Usually stony
  • Free draining
  • Often overlays chalk or limestone bedrock
  • This means some minerals, such as manganese (Mg) and iron (Fe), become unavailable to plants, causing poor growth and yellowing of leaves
  • This can be remedied by adding fertilisers
