Default vegetable plot soil


"margaret ellis" wrote

Hello ,My vegetable plot soil is to alkaline ,I have read that applying
green sulpher powder should make it more acidic,But i don't know what
quantity to apply,Also if anyone knows of any other means of making my
soil more acidic
i will be most grateful for the advice


How alkaline is it, what is the pH?
Ours is acidic, ph 5.5 or worse, and we have to use bags of lime each year
in order to grow brassicas so if it's only just alkaline you are very lucky.
Unless you want to grow Blueberries.
