VITALstyle pH Soil Test

DETERMINE THE ACIDITY OF THE SOIL USING THE SOIL PH TEST

In addition to a type of grass suitable for horses, healthy soil is also very important. The acidity in the soil has a major influence on soil life and horse pasture. Acidic soil makes it harder for grass to absorb nutrients. As a result, the grass in horse pastures grows more poorly and becomes more susceptible to diseases, pests and weeds. Therefore, test the acidity of the soil of the horse pasture 1 &agrave: 2 times a year. The optimal pH value of the soil in a horse pasture is between 5.5 and 6.5. You can easily measure this with the VITALstyle pH soil test in collaboration with ECOstyle!

WHAT IS PH VALUE?

Soil acidity is measured as pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. In the soil, the acidity varies between about 4 and 8. The lower the pH, the more acidic the soil.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD PH VALUE

The pH value has a major influence on soil life and horse pasture. Acidic soil due to weather conditions and soil processes causes grass to absorb nutrients more poorly. As a result, the grass in horse pastures grows more poorly and becomes more susceptible to diseases, pests and weeds. Therefore, it is important to control the acidity of your soil to 1 &agrave: To be tested twice a year. The optimal pH value of the soil in a horse pasture is between 5.5 and 6.5. The optimal soil acidity level for an herb and/or flower mix is between 6 and 7. Is your soil too acidic? Then use VITALstyle Wiesenkalk!

Is the soil too acidic?

VITALstyle WeideKalk&nbsp:was developed specifically for horse pasture. It has a unique composition that optimizes soil acidity. With&nbsp:WeideKalk&nbsp: you ensure the correct pH value of the soil in horse pasture , which improves the growth of meadow grass and prevents the growth of unwanted weeds such as moss, horsetail and sorrel.&nbsp:Meadow lime&nbsp:is only absorbed into the soil if the soil is actually too acidic. The granules can remain visible and effective for a long time. It doesn't hurt to let the horse out to pasture if the pasture limescale&nbsp:has not yet been completely dissolved.

Is the soil ready for fertilization and sowing?

For a strong horse pasture, we recommend fertilizing with VITALstyle meadow fertilizer. This 100% plant-based organic fertilizer was specially developed for horse pastures and ensures balanced growth with a lower fructan content. The unique blend of bacteria, fungi and protozoa ensures healthy soil life, strong horse pasture and helps prevent weeds in the pasture. Horses can immediately return to the pasture after fertilization with&nbsp:meadow manure.

By sowing the horse pasture with VITALstyle WeideGraszaad, you ensure diversity in the meadow . The balanced grass seed mixture is ideal for horses due to its low fructan content. With&nbsp:WeideGraszaad&nbsp:you ensure a species-rich and healthy horse pasture! a>p>
