What has made it acidic?

• vram22 9y ago
  Don't know actual chemistry facts (rusty) but would not be surprised if it was the ash that did.

    Ash is alkaline, so it would make the ground more basic rather than more acidic.

  Not a field I know anything about, but you might try https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/57963.pdf https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/57963.pdf page 58

  I would guess the organic matter from thousands of years of growth. Normally organic matter rich soil suits ericaceous (acid loving) plants.

    > ericaceous (acid loving) plants Not to be confused with erinaceous (pertaining to hedgehogs) plants. Cacti, perhaps? English vocabulary can be weird.
