    Anybody any ideas where to pick up some garden sulphur
    My soil is to alkaline for plants/trees - I'm a newbie gardener and of course planted all before i found this out

    its a tiny garden 12 ft x 10 ft

    or if anyone has any ideas how to make soil more acidic - i'd appreciate any help

    don't want my tree dying - ( only 1 tree - like i said small garden lol )

    thanks

    You should get it in any garden centre or DIY chain. Digging in peat moss, compost, leaf mould etc.will also help. If the tree is only newly planted it's roots will not have had time to adjust to soil conditions. What is your soil Ph and how did you determine it? Most plants are quite happy at about Ph7, it's only the likes of rhododendrons, azaleas, pieris etc. that would prefer a lower Ph.
