I'm at 7.5.

I assume that I can add someting that will have some effect on this
year's crop. What can I do right now, and for next year.

you could add Sulpher chips next year, they`ll work for a good year or so before you need to add more, powdered sulpher is also a faster way but is short lived.

as mentioned also, Coffee grinds work well
