There is a science fair project at school, and we are all required to do it. I 
was thinking of testing to see if there is any difference in growing a plant in 
acidic soil and basic soil. However, I don't want to test a plant that NEEDS to 
be planted in either acidic OR basic soil, because they won't get the proper 
nutrition they need. So my question is, are there any plants that can be grown 
in both acidic and basic soil ( besides the Hydrangeas flower)? If so,what 
would be the proper pH?
