My plants were all stunted after I first put them in our containers... I think I nailed down what the problem was- the soil was way too alkaline... I added sulfur but that takes weeks to take effect... so I watered with dilute white vinegar to lower the ph... the reaction of the plants was shocking... once the ph hit ~7 the plants started thriving... I plan to lower it more, I have concentrated phosphoric acid and plan to add a little to water to bring the water to a ph of 6 and regularly water with that every few days... at least until the sulfur starts to work...
I added ~5 tablespoons of jobe's sulfur soil acidifier to each 5 gallon bucket... have no idea if that is enough...
Any suggestions?
