Question of the Day
Is the soil under oak and pine trees always extremely acid?
Not necessarily. It’s quite likely to be acid, but it should be checked, because acid levels can vary greatly depending on what type of rock is in the soil. Fall is a good time of year to test your soil. If it is acid, it will need lime.

About the Almanac
What is The Old Farmer's Almanac? For more than 225 years, we've been the go-to resource for everything under the Sun-including the Moon! We may be "old," but in fact we're new every year-and even every day.
Welcome to the Almanac's HQ! We're located in the tiny village of Dublin, New Hampshire, which is small-town America at its best-complete with Old Glory high atop her pole, a church steeple, the town hall-and New England weather!
