[USCC] Sulfur

[Kelley Holcomb]

Ron:

I our part of the world, we get a lot of pine in our wood waste. It compost
well, but it also drops the pH to as low as the high 4's. Hardwood waste
yields a pH in the mid to upper 7's

Hello Compost World,
Has anybody out there had any 'real' success adding sulfur to compost to
reduce its pH?
Thanks,
Ron
