To raise the pH of your soil by about one point: In sandy soil: add 3 to 4 pounds of ground limestone per 100 square feet. In loam (good garden soil): add 7 to 8 pounds per 100 square feet. In heavy clay: add 8 to 10 pounds per 100 square feet. Alkaline Soil. If your soil is higher than 6.8, you will need to acidify your soil. Soils in the western U.S., especially in arid regions, are typically alkaline. Soil is usually acidified by adding ground sulfur.
While beans prefer slightly acidic soil, a pH reading below 6 actually inhibits growth. The most common way to raise pH is by adding pulverized dolomitic limestone. To raise sandy soil from 5.5 to 6.5, work 4.5 lbs of lime into the top 6 inches of 100 sq feet of soil. In loam soil, increase that amount to 7.5 lbs for the same results. Clay soil needs 10 lbs of lime for the same results. It can take up to a year for the pH to go up -- do this well in advance of planting. Harvest to Table: How to Grow Green or Snap Beans.
