Testing pH.

 
A high pH result.

 

Site 1 (near a pine tree)
Slag in water: 7.25 Crushed slag in water: 10.00+
Site 2 (under Rosemont)
Slag in water: 7.75 Crushed slag in water: 10.00+
Site 3 (construction rubble)
Slag in water: 7.50 Crushed slag in water: 8.00
Site 4 (view of Tree Top)
Slag in water: 7.25 Crushed slag in water: 10.00
Site 5 (hill with trees)
Slag in water: 6.75 Crushed slag in water: 10.00
Site 6 (hill with no trees)
Slag in water: 8.00 Crushed slag in water: 10.00+
Site 7 (flat with trees)
* might not be slag
Slag in water: 6.50 Crushed slag in water: 7.25+
If slag is crushed, the pH will go up. Does that effect new planting?
