I beg to differ strongly… availability is directly related to PH and it highly depends on the chelates used and the CEC of the media… also the ph can be highly responsible for the form a nutrient is in like ammonia or ammonium. PH is buffered by the soil which is why you dont need to worry about ph of feedings If the soil is built properly…

have a read here.

you dont have to explain organics to me i have a very good understanding of them and exactly how organics is broken down into mineral salts and then dissolved in water and into ionic form. By the way its more so the enzymes that the microbes produce that does this work when talking about bacteria.. not the bacteria themselves.

Thanks for the info, very nice break down. I realize it's the enzymes creating the ionic forms of nutrients. I was just saying the microbes can unlock nutrients already existing in the soil that would have not been otherwise bio available like phosphorus for example, also amino acids act as a better carrier for secondary nutrients. But I guess thats a bit different in terms of ph.
I amend my soil with dolomite which from my understanding, regulates ph both ways, do you know if this is true?
