The all important pH

Soil and climate are both really key ingredients for a successful trufferie. The soil at mum's farm is great BUT pH is quite low at around 5.8 ... it needs to be at around 7.8 for truffle trees. So, the first step in preparing the soil for the new trufferie is to add lime LOTS of lime - 60 tonnes per hectare!!

lime is delivered to be spread in the morning ... hope it's not windy
