A conventional electric water heater will come with a black wire and a red wire which are connected to the wires of the same color as described above. The ground wire is attached to the green ground screw which is in the same wiring junction box compartment which is built into the top of the water heater.
Using Sulfur to Lower Soil pH. You can make larger adjustments to your garden soil pH by using some form of sulfur. Sulfur lowers soil pH as it is broken down by bacteria in the soil and converted to sulfuric acid. Sulfur is most commonly added in the forms of aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate and elemental sulfate.
The pH scale indicates acidity or alkalinity. A soil with a pH number below 7 is acid, while one with a pH above 7 is alkaline. Garden plants typically grow best in neutral or slightly acid soil (pH 7 or slightly below; see illustration at left).f your soil is extremely acidic or alkaline and you need to change the level by more than one point on the pH scale, it's best to bring in a professional: he or she can both analyze test results and perform an on-site evaluation to determine whether the soil can be amended successfully and how best to go about it.
