Thanks for passing that along Tracy. I noted two things: 1) the slow reaction/conversion of sulfur to free H+ ions (so what I measure now isn't what I'll have later in the summer); and (2) this: "If the soil is calcareous (contains free calcium carbonate), additional sulfur will be required to neutralize the free calcium carbonate." I wonder how much of the calcium I might have in the soil from the lime I added?
It will be interesting to follow the progression of my soils pH through the season. I have a good meter, and I kept careful records of how much was added to each 2'x2' square.
