Out of curiosity, where are you, and what sort of soil are you on to
have a pH that low?


I'm guessing the east.

Here in Perth, I am sticking vast amounts of manure into the ground and
throwing blood and bone around with abandon to bulk up the soil/sand
and try to get the pH down a bit.


Under the Perth sand, you have limestone, so your soils tend to be alkaline.
IIRC most of Oz tends to be acidic.
