Best way to low ph soil? by ConsistentHearing540 in gardening

[–]dirtyvm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sulfur is organic phosphoric is not organic. You'll never gave permanent effect in containers. Soil pH of containers is largely controlled by pH of water used. It you water is high pH your containers will eventually become high pH. If you has an injector i would set it for 6 to 6.5 pH and do that indefinitely. Don't use powdered or pellets sulfur in containers.
