    Q
    Need to lower my centipede lawn soil from 7.9 to a 6. What product and at what rate do you recommend?

    Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur is generally applied at 1-2 pounds per 100 sq ft to help lower soil pH. That being said, usually you need at least 20 lbs of sulfur per 1,000 sq ft per application done over several seasons to affect soil pH. This article has excellent information about lowering soil pH in lawns.

    No, Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur is not labled to control insects in lawns, plants, or shrubs. This is a mineral to help with the acidity in the soil, not an insecticide.

  • Asked by Daniel from Houston, Tx
    02/18/2021
    Q
    Is it okay to apply Hi Yield Soil Sulfur in the late winter?
    My soilkit.com report indicated I need to apply this product to lower the PH of my yard. The report does not say when I should apply it, nor does the label on the Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur package indicate the best time to apply. Spring is just around the corner here in Houston, so I thought it would be good to apply it now, but I don't want to harm my lawn by applying it too early. Thank you in advance for your time.
    A

    You can apply a soil amendment such as Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur in early Spring before you would need fertilizer. Be sure there is no snow or ice and the ground is not frozen when you want to apply your amendments. Lowering the pH of your soil can be a slow process, so you will want to continue soil testing at least once a year (possibly more often in warmer areas) for best results.

    Q
    How much will the 1-2lb per 100 sq. ft. application lower pH when using Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur?
    I understand it's complex, and so I might not get a straightforward answer; I have a pH of about 8 and extremely low soil salinity, if that helps.
    A

    Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur acts as a soil conditioner as well as aiding in lowering pH in soils with excessive alkaline levels.  We have supplemental labels from the manufacturer that go over how much is needed based on your current soil pH levels and your goal pH.

    Q
    Can I broadcast spread Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur over my lawn and water it in to help lower pH level over time?
    I know it's not a magic bullet but there are very few ways to lower pH safely on lawns without tilling.
    A

    Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur is applied to the lawn at the rate of 1 - 2 lbs. per 100 square feet. You will need to spade or mix into soil. With this being a slow acting yet long lasting treatment, it’s effect on soil acidity will not be complete until 6 - 8 weeks after application.

  • Asked by Kristin from Mooresville
    03/06/2022
    Q
    Does Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur need to be watered into the lawn?
    I am applying this product to an established lawn based on a soil test. I can not til the sulfer granules into my soil as it will ruin my lawn. Should I apply before rain or use irrigation to help it penetrate the soil?
    A

    An elemental sulfur product such as Hi-Yield Soil Sulfur will work best when it's worked into the soil directly since the product creates the acidifying effect when soil microbes feed on it. So while you can potentially apply an elemental sulfur and water it in lightly, you would see faster results applying it after aeration or vericutting. Be sure that you do not flood or overwater the lawn after applying sulfur, and do not apply soil sulfur before the soil is about 55 degrees consistently in the spring. 
     
    A product with gypsum such as Hi-Yield Fast Acting Gypsum contains water-soluble sulfate for more immediate effects on the soil. Gypsum also aids in plant recovering, water and nutrient retention, and loosening compact soils.
