I see people who have had a "landscape job" done and now, 1-3 months later, the plants have gone off... stunted, yellow etc... When tested, the soil pH is 8, at best, to 9, but I've actually measured 10 on one occasion. These devestated people can't believe how (with application of sulphur in small increments and remeasuring pH) their garden blooms in a few months... proof in the pudding. They are confused having spent money on fertilizer and more fertilizer and pesticides and what not. I’m in retail nursery up in Brisbane.
