Sulphur Chips
Sulphur Chips gives your ericaceous plants the ideal soil pH and conditions to grow properly. They come in the form of an easy to scatter chip grade Sulphur. Many ericaceous plants will not grow, or will show signs of trace element deficiencies if the soil is not ideal for that plant. Most common ericaceous (lime-hating) plants will not grow in limey soils. Sulphur chips will gradually reduce lime content to make the soil suitable for those lime-hating plants.Directions for Use:
- How – Add to soil or compost and thoroughly mix in. Top dress on the surface area and work in by hand or hoe. Safe to use between established container plants where soil conditions are not ideal. For new plants, dig Sulphur in to the top 6-8 inches of soil.
- When – Use at any time of year. Sulphur chips will be most effective in warm soils.
- Rate of Use – Use 35-55gms per sq.m. It is advisable to wait until the soil warms to see the effectiveness of this application.
Soil pH
This is a measure of soil acidity or alkalinity on a scale from 0-14 units. Neutral soil condition has a pH value of 7; acid soils are lower than this; alkaline (limey) soils have a higher reading.- pH6 Acidic
- pH7 Neutral
- pH8 Limey
Soil Testing
Soil pH is easily tested by either chemical or electronic D.I.Y. test kits available in most garden shops.Ideal Soil
Once ideal soil pH is achieved it should be monitored regularly to see it is not creeping back, as lime frequently comes through on chalky soils. Apply remedial Sulphur chips if necessary.Plant Food
Sulphur is also an important major plant food. Sulphur chips will provide this essential elementIron Deficiency
Many plants will exhibit chlorosis (yellowing) on limey soils. Correcting the soil condition will provide a permanent solution. Iron will correct these deficiencies quickly and may be an alternative or temporary solution.Safety
Sulphur is combustible and may evolve toxic fumes in a fire. Fire fighting measures douse with water. Store safely in the original container away from heat sources. Wash hands after use.Check out our range of FERTILISERS here.
