New Product for Lowering Soil Alkalinity (pH)

Have you wanted to grow southern highbush blueberries in the Mojave desert but the soil pH was too high? How about azaleas and rhododendrons? Camellias? Hydrangeas? Lower your soil pH to 5.5?

If you have ever tried using sulfur it doesn't work because it breaks down so slowly. I guess you could smash it with a hammer before you apply it.

You just might be able to do it with this product. I tried Organic Magic and a few ounces of this product lowered the pH of tap water to 3.3! It breaks apart easily with water so you can apply it directly to the soil surface and water it in.  And it is approved for organic crop production.A very interesting product that may have a very important niche where desert soils.

Retail $30 for a 30 lb bag.
