A pH of 7 is just about as good as it gets! 7 is neutral so you can grow a huge number of plants that don't require very acid (5.5 or below) or very alkaline (8 or above) conditions, it also means you can grow most plants that like a slightly acid or slightly alkaline soil too .... lucky you :)

no kidding! 7 is right in the middle for what most plants can tolerate. If you need more acid for one particular plant, like a rhododendrum, you can put used coffee grounds around the plant to help that spot.

Decker, what is the problem? Did you have your soil tested for nutrients as well?
