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.
It is important to know what kind of soil the perennials you are using in your containers prefer. If your soil is not in the correct pH range, the plant will not grow well if it grows at all. To make soil more acidic (to lower the pH), add aluminum sulphate or garden sulphur to the soil. This meter will measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of your soil. 2  It is important to know what kind of soil the perennials you are using in your containers prefer. 3  If your soil is not in the correct pH range, the plant will not grow well if it grows at all.
