Yeah I have a meter as it is needed! Thanks for the tip! I will leave out the sulfur! Pine bark/peat moss/pumice mixtures (what i use) has a PH around 5.0. Heck i might have to add lime! I add cottonseed meal and other chemical and organic fertilizers. The mix has no nutrients to speak of. Blueberries though love to grow in peat moss!
