 pH problem: how to make water more alkali

Anyway, fuck google (tried), so I'm asking you guys:
What to use to make water with higher pH?
Can I add NaOh to water, making it more neutral or would NaOh fuck the roots up or shit like that?
What about watering with water with ashes? Ashes wouldn't hurt much, I guess, or would they?
Baking soda?
P.S. 5.5-6pH of soil, 6pH of water.
P.S.S. The item of raising pH must be widely sold in every single store in the world, it can't be expensive too.

theres a hydroponic product called ph down, you wont find it in every store but you can get it online, pool stores carry products to change ph, they might have one that's safe for plants.
just googled how to raise ph in soil
Quote:
Ways to Make Soil More Alkaline (Reduce Acidity) Dolomite Lime, (calcium magnesium carbonate), is the most common soil amendment for raising soil pH (reducing acidity). It’s used by both organic and conventional farmers, but should Not be used in soils with adequate or excess magnesium. Plants need magnesium in small amounts, and excess magnesium stunts and kills vegetables. Where a soil test indicates adequate or high magnesium levels, use an alternate calcium source for changing soil pH.
just googled how to raise ph in drinking water safely
Quote:
Baking soda: Researcher and author Dr. Robert O. Young has stressed the importance of pH balance for over two decades, and has considered ways to increase the alkaline levels in the diet by adding an alkaline ingredient to your purified water. Dr. Young recommends simply adding ½ a teaspoon of baking soda to a gallon of purified water and shaking it vigorously to ensure it mixes in completely. Because baking soda is highly alkaline, adding only a small amount to your purified water will result in a gallon of alkaline water.

Get you a bottle of Pro-tekt silicon. It'll raise your pH a lot and improve heat and drought tolerance as well as strengthen your branches.
