Howdy, our soil is Bolar Clay Loam at 7.4pH. We want 6.5 pH. I tilled in 23lbs/1000sqft of Disper-Sul Pastille 97% sulfur, but the data sheet makes it clear that many weeks will be needed in order to lower pH. They are time release, only work with moisture and over 70F. Additionally, it should be done twice a year.

Right now our pH is still at 7.3 only a slight improvement in 2 weeks.

In the meantime, I got a few lbs of "micronized" sulfur dust, suitable for dusting and spraying. Has anybody had good results with top dressing this, or working it into the starter soil for baby transplants?
