We'll soon know what kinds of crops we can grow on Mars! Bonus, the fruits will be already freeze-dried!
Handy list of preferred pH's of common garden plants. -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

Someone spilled the baking soda....that explains all the bright patches Phoenix is seeing - Stu, you have your answer! Nope. Not baking soda. That would hit a pH of 7 (neutral). More like sodium carbonate. Looks like we'll be sipping soothing mint tea on Mars... -Mike (P.S. my guess was at the other end of the pH scale) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

Baking soda has a pH of 8 or 9. I stand adjusted. I made a basic error. <ducks> -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
