Lime activates when wetted, and starts to change pH in 2-3 days usually, in a soil mix. Not sure on how fast it activates in earth. Elemental sulfur requires microbial activity, moisture and temperature to break down. Top dressing the soil with sulfur takes longer to effect, but will. Working...

You guys are right, I won't be here long. I just stumbled upon this in a google search, and while in my youth I was inclined to partake in reefer, I don't anymore. (btw, I liked creeper the best, but hated the coughs, and never ever take a hit from a homade pvc steamroller until the glue is...

And there is nothing wrong with that. The fact that you share rather than hoard your knowledge is golden IMO. Often it is better to perform simple steps rather than get mired down in the technicalities, much less frustrating. However, with plants, a lot can be frustrating because there is so...

Oh, and as to how to test your soil pH, there are two ways that are acceptible for an end user, the pour thru, and the 2:1. A lab will screen the soil, dry the soil to a certain moisture content, then perform the tests. I don't know about you, but that is a lot of work for a soil sample. The...

You know, there is a right and a wrong in this case. What others are stating might be true, IF you have the matching symptoms. But, just telling others to use lime or add vinegar is sort of shooting in the dark at the real problems. I know, I have been learning and implementing for about 15...

Actually I said I am not a grower of your product. In fact I manage the water and soil for about 65,000 sq feet of crop in a greenhouse. I use 96% sulfuric acid to neutralize the alkalinity in our water. Vinegar works OK, but switch to citric acid for better results. And btw, there is an...

I am not a grower nor a user of your products, but rather I was searching for some info and this thread came up as a result. I could not help but reply - sorry. First off, LIME is not a stabalizer per se, but most often raises alkalinity or ph. When people speak of ph, they refer to the...
