Default Is sulphur powder the least costly way to lower PH ?

Another method is the addition of as much compost as you can afford, then the
use of a product called Sul-po-mag. It has sulfur, potassium and magnesium. It
helps synthesize the elements into something a plant can uptake. Compost tends
to neutralize soil.

Everyone is correct, though. You will never be successful lowering the pH of
any soil, permanently.

If you insist on trying you probably will do better with granular
sulfur. I've used Dispersul in the past with good results in
improving the tilth of blackland clay.
