- Asparagus: Asparagus prefers soils with a pH between 6.5-7.5 and can tolerate soils up to pH 8.0.
- Broccoli: Broccoli prefers soils with a pH of 6.5-7.5.
- Cauliflower: Cauliflower prefers soils with a pH of 6.5-7.5
- Cabbage: Cabbage prefers soils with a pH of 6.5-7.5
- Melons: Melons prefer soils with a pH of 6.5-7.5
