How to Make Garden Soil

Now, we discuss how to make garden soil acidic.

1. you add ammonium sulfate will lower soil pH immediately, and boost available nitrogen at the same time.
2. you add soil sulfur(granulated sulfur) will also lower soil pH, but the process is much slower, because soil microbes have to work on the sulfur, which takes time.
3. you will need to check soil pH periodically in order to control the process.
4. you can adding lots of compost to your planting bed will also help acidify soil, as will using more compost as a continued mulch or top dressing, replacing as needed
   

If you haven't made your own, compost and composted animal manures are available by the truck load, or the bag.
