Hi, just found you today. New to CO, I’m 5B in Aurora in 80017.Can anyone answer an URGENT Q? I have 20 Bloom a Thon azaleas on my yard waiting to plant. Bloom a Thon are rated Z 6-10. I may plant in containers the 1st yr to move or wrap in winter.Or some in soil on south side protected by deck. What do U think?
URGENT Q TONITE:. I am amending soil & cannot tell all the coffee grounds and acidifier have lowered my PH of 7-7.5 at all. I bought 2 new PH meters & the amended soil has GONE UP to 8!! Am I going crazy?? I have added bags of coffee grounds from Starbucks & 6lbs of acidifier & it goes up!! Is it because it is wet? Or what could be the issue? Using bags of garden potting soil PH 7 from HD.
I do have more cafe grounds & another 6 lb bag of acifidier to add.
WHAT IS GOING ON? 2 BAD METERS OR?
CAN I GO AHEAD & PLANT TOMORROW?
If anyone wants to call up until 11 p.m, it would be great to hear ur expert opinion!
