High soil acidity is usually caused by the breakdown of organic matter, so it’s often found in woodland, due to the abundance of fallen leaves. Formally associated with peaty high organic matter soils commonly found on moors, heathland, reclaimed land or woodland clearing.
As a guide if the soil pH is below 6.5 then this mix will be a good option. This is a perennial mixture so will last for many years with eye-catching species such as foxglove, yellow rattle and birds foot trefoil creating a colourful display of flowers through the spring and summer.
