Good question! Are you asking about the Tap water ph or the RO? Our tap water here has alot of calcium so I suspect it is more basic than acidic but not sure.

I am getting my tap water from the same source as you are though, I think, if that helps......

Thanks.......

Oh, are you implying that the ph might be affecting the uptake of iron? if so you are correct that would only serve as a Band-Aid.

What would be the ph that would be most appropriate for the trees, neutral?

I guess that I need to get a water ph testing kit.....
