Stepheninky: Thank you for the idea about baking soda. I had not thought of that. Someone previously recommended powdered citric acid, 9 ounces per 100 gallons via a proportional injector, which would reduce the pH by about 1 full point. I guess maybe baking soda could do the same thing?
fortyonenorth: I'm not familiar with CEC. I'll read up on it. You make a good point concerning organic matter. I probably should have already planted a cover crop. Maybe if I get on the stick now I can get winter rye going. I'll also send you a PM, thanks.
