I got a B&Q soil tester and it indicated the soil was about PH 9, dark

I only grow vegetables such as potatoes, onions, leeks, turnips and the
like and I need to know how much sulphur per square yard or meter do I
have to add to reduce the PH of the soil to get it slightly acidic
which it seems is ideal for popular vegetables.

Can any one advise on the amount of sulphur to use please?

many thanks


Don't know anything about turning alkaline soil back towards neutral
with sulphur. But maybe bulk quantities of manure would help? The
crops that you've listed would sure like to be well manured!

Even so, how are they doing in the alkaline soil that you have?
