    How does one adjust the PH level?

    You add acid to lower the pH...you do need either a pH metre or test papers. The metre is better but lots more expensive. And it needs to be calibrated regularly to be accurate. The Switched-on-Gardener chain have such devices.
    Use either citric or tartaric acid...available in all grocery stores.
