Hey

today i bought a mycorhizae/bacteria inoculum for my plants.
now im wondering how these micros will affect soil ph , is there maybe a tendency to observe ?
im sure this is not as easy to tell but i would like to hear some opinions on this subject.

cheers

It's really the opposite of your concerns, soil PH will have some effect on bacterial and fungal growth, not the other way around. Generally speaking, a neutral PH or higher will favor bacterial growth and lower PH conditions will favor fungal growth. At normal PH ranges that we grow plants under they both adapt fine.
