In my experience its difficult to change pH, apart from perhaps causing a temporary rise or fall with certain additions such as woodash.
At Lower Farm I spread compost, some with woodash, for eleven years and then had a pH test done by Laverstoke laboratories, at the same time as sending them soil from the nearby, uncomposted field. All the readings were pH 7.2 to 7.3.
I was growing lovely vegetables of all kinds, including potatoes with little scab.
Yet if you read many books and papers on vegetable growing, they advise a pH of 6.5. From the evidence of my own eyes and my results, I suggest a broader range of pH is good, and there are so many other factors at play such as general soil health.
