4. How can I lower the PH of my soil for blueberries
A:Several materials available at garden centers will lower soil pH; elemental sulfur; aluminum sulfate; iron sulfate; and sulfur coated urea. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. Generally materials should be worked into the soilafter application to be most effective..
The amount of time it takes to raise soil's pH level depends on the substance used and the starting pH level, but the process usually takes one to two years. Although you can raise soil pH faster or slower, doing so more quickly often has risks for plants.
Recently I can and garlic beans and noticed when I was done with that the water level in the beans who is down quite a bit more than what was there when I started. I was wondering if there is any harm in this. Should we throw them or keep or eat?
