I do not adjust pH. Organic grows have no need to be in a specific range so that chealated nutrients can break apart. I have a friend in Hawaii who mixes 50/50 his rainwater and his water out of the tap... it makes it perfect for his garden.Yh it's a right prick I'll find an alternative! Alfalfa is also another pain to get hold of, we only feed it to live stock in the UK in a pellet form I'm thinking get some and smash it up into a powder. Using rain water and spring how are you adjusting ph or am I doing the right thing by chucking it on.
My rain water comes out the garden at 7.5-7.8
FYI, feather meal and kelp meal mixed in a 1:10 ratio is a good substitute for the high N of blood meal. Alfalfa pellets work well too... just dry them out a bit and they smash down into a flour pretty easily.
