How does soil type affect the calculation?

The tool accounts for buffering capacity. For example, clay soil requires more amendment than sand to achieve the same pH shift.

Can I change my soil pH by more than 1.0 unit at once?

No. To protect soil microbiology, the tool calculates the `requiredSteps` to ensure you never exceed a 1.0 pH unit change per application.

What amendments can I use to raise pH?

You can use calcitic lime or dolomitic lime. You can verify compatibility using the `get_soil_compatibility` tool.

This MCP server provides deterministic tools for managing soil chemistry. Use calculate_amendment_requirement to determine the exact weight of lime or sulfur needed for your specific soil texture (sand, loam, or clay) and area. You can also use estimate_amendment_cost to project total expenses and get_soil_compatibility to verify if an amendment matches your pH adjustment goals. It automatically accounts for soil buffering capacity and enforces safe incremental pH changes.
