Thank you brother 🙏
Great video, very informative! Nice method you used with control and testing. Keep up the great work and keep putting out videos to share your knowledge. Thank you for this!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it interesting. Im a beginner, but curious, more stuff like this will undoubtedly pop up.
Bro this video is the best out there for this product . Thank you for sharing 🤲👍✊
Thank you! And you're welcome!
Hopefully it's accurate and all, I tried my best to keep it on point!
Thanks for testing this!
Welcome!
Would love to see a follow up with you treating the ground.
I already tried it once and saw no change. I even recorded, but the audio quality was horrible. I may try it again next season, start around the end of march, and measure at the end of june.
Good experiment. You should also test the pH of your water before starting the tests. The soil you use will have a lot to do with how fast it can break down the sulfur by how much active life/bacteria there is in the soil, which is what actually breaks down the sulfur into sulfuric acid which is what lowers the pH. Best to have some organics in the soil to aide that. Also, the pH of your rain could heavily influence the results if it differs from the pH of your regular water. Best to stick to the water from a single source for testing.
That was an oversight. I was using the same water source and ended up getting rain. I may redo this next year in a more controlled way. Things have gotten quite chaotic, and the yard is getting away from me at the moment.
Just add. Vinegar to the soil an sulfer from. Rotten eggs.
You should definitely do that,,, I just planted blueberries around my Deck, but I think the p.H. is too high ,,but my wife has her plants their also...will it harm my wife's plants...?????
Depends on the plants.
Some prefer neutral soil and vast, vast majority can grow in such.
Some alkaline but can go with neutral, some only alkaline.
Some acidic. But majority of garden plants prefer slightly alkaline. You have to research it by yourself.
If a recommended natural fertilizer is ash - it likes alkaline, if manure/straw - acidic.
So their are a few things here, as @abrvalg said, you would have to know the PH needs of the surrounding plants. No one can answer without knowing what plants are around the blueberry bushes or the spacing around them. Specifically, I dont know how far out the acidifier affects the soil. Im sure it's not isolated to where you put it. This would be something to test for.
I would love for you to do a inground video. I am having a problem getting an accurate reading on my inground garden using a digital ph probe and don't have the proper directions. I think my ground is to acidic because I have been adding a lot of maple leaves every Fall. My garlic grew very poorly this year after having many years of good growth.
I don't mean acidic. I mean alkaline.
I would suggest PH testing. You can buy a meter, strips, or have it done. I wouldn't adjust without knowing where the PH is.
I did try testing in the ground, but quite a few variables made it somewhat difficult, and I scrapped the video due to not having the time currently.
Take a cat little bucket fill it with dirt. Add. Dead leafs some rotten eggs. 3 cups vinegar. Fill with water. Close it up stick it in the hot sun. For a week or longer. Let it cook in the heat. And let it ferment. After a week. Open it up to dry out. When fully dry. Boom 9.9. Ph soil based fertilizer use one cup for every 4 feet of space between plants
It didn’t go that fast for me
How long did it take? I was expecting a week or two. If I ground a test, im expecting it to take longer.
Too bad your scientific method is lacking. Biggest issue is you can’t read your meter, while led you to erroneous conclusions. The full dose reading after treatment was 5.7 (?) NOT 6. So the results were not the same as you said. I won’t get into the rest of the failures. Good idea though just very poorly executed. .
Where are you spotting this, some areas I subsituted b-roll I filmed to keep the visual aspect moving for short attention spans, I assure you I can read a meter. And please, get into the rest of this. If im wrong, I'd like to know.
@@VexedGardenAndGrill At 5.50 your full dose was reading 5.75, you said 6.75 in the video. Also in your conclusion you rounded it up to 6.0 to say it had the same effect as a half dose, when the half dose only brought your soil down to 6.0
@nickbloor9088 Thank you, I'll check it out and pin a comment or pull the video. I appreciate it being pointed out.
