I seem to recall some people use (AP) solid waste in their dirt gardens. Can anyone tell me what it does to the ph in the soil if anything? Thanks |

Hi, I hadn't given the pH effect any thought - but I will let you know if it is detrimental. I emptied my radial filter's contents on my fruit trees, rhubarb and hydrangeas on the weekend and nothing has curled up yet. It was years of build up in a system which continually tests around 7.8-8 pH. Karen |

Hi Karen, Thanks for your response. I'm in the mist of designing a system which uses the earth as the biofilter. (solids collection) more so than munching microbes. The bulk of bacteria will live beneath on broken concrete and or boulders. I've read a bit here and there that theirs a swing of a few points with different plants where PH is concerned. This project is being installed in somebodies front yard, so plant placement is crucial. So I need to possibly have different PH zones. That is if I can, I will. I'd also like to ask if anyone has any info of how the breakdown process works in earth. (sun, bugs, wind, deuterium laced rain?) Tips, tricks, links are greatly appreciated! David |
