Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Background Paragraph: Alkali, or Alkaline, soils are clay soils with high pH (> 8.5), a poor soil structure and a low infiltration capacity. Often they have a hard calcareous layer at 0.5 to 1 metre depth. Alkali soils owe their unfavorable physico-chemical properties mainly to the dominating presence of sodium carbonate, which causes the soil to swell[1] and difficult to clarify/settle. They derive their name from the alkali metal group of elements, to which sodium belongs, and which can induce basicity. Sometimes these soils are also referred to as alkaline sodic soils.
Alkaline soils are basic, but not all basic soils are alkaline. 
Story: Albert is planning on having a garden soon. He has done his research and find out that he cannot buy soil that is above a pH of seven. He sees several options for sale, including Alkali soil and a basic soil.
Output (English): Which soil should Albert avoid buying because of high pH value?
