my lawn soil is very alkaline this safe to use on grass to lower the ph? can this be used with a grass spreader or do i need to mix with water?

I am sorry to tell you that I don't know anything about aluminum sulfate as a fertilizer. I got it to stop bleeding. It works real good for that.

I have no idea what the PH level is and I am not having any luck with this soil. I have not had such a problem where the seedlings die. Bagged soil seems to be very different lately. I am not sure if I can know what is in the mix. I am not happy that it does not seem like anyone can be trusted. I am just disappointed. Sorry that I can not answer your question.

You can test pH of a soil, but not by sticking the probe in the sample. Do do so, you'll need to put a sample of the soil in some distilled water (RO would do) to form a suspension (try not to make it thick or else the pH meter will not read effectively). The more you shake the suspension prior to reading, the more accurate your results will turn out.

Yes, but if you use it for pure hydroponics you will always get full wet because it registers how much water there is between the two probes. To be of use for moisture testing it has to be inserted in soil...or sand..or any medium that contains moisture. But if you are asking if the ph feature will work in only liquid the answer is yes.

Rip is wrong. This formulation is very safe for established lawns. Just read the label carefully. If you use usually 4oz per gallon of water or less you will be ok and will kill the majority of broadleaf lawn weeds. If you just pour glugs of it in your sprayer overmix and don't carefully measure it, it will kill your lawn.

we mixed an sprayed it from a sprayer, just don't use on lawn as it killed the lawn also

There is not enough information to answer this question. Do you know the ph of your water. Most municipal water is near neutral or 7. If you water heavily with high alkaline water, there is probably not enough acid in these spikes to make the soil acid. Do you know the ph of your soil? Small azaleas are cheap. Plant a few and see what happens. Monitor the soil ph and keep it moderately acid, about 5 to 6ph. Sorry, I know this is not much help. b

Yes it is. I myself use it in planters, inside and the PH leve is perfect and good draining soil. And the perfect thing about it is that you don't have to worry about snags with this soil. I highly recommend this soil it's the only one I use for all my indoor plants, PS good luck it's that time of the yaer&#127803;&#127802;&#127808;&#127800;

I live in San Antonio and the people at the pool and spa supply store told me not to worry about alkalinity just the ph up and down. So i dont use alkalinity chemicals . As for the other two they told me to dilute before putting into tub because they might be harsh on the tub. I use the foam down and the bromine tablets also. Leisure time is recommended by the store as well. Also, wait about 15 minutes between chemicals

Yes. I teaspoon per gallon of water. Also add 1 teaspoon of a surfactant like Bonide 097 Turbo Spreader to help it stick to the weeds. When you spray it, hit the weeds very lightly with each treatment. No need to soak them. Tenacity works great. I used it last year on the nimblewill in our yard.

If you are careful, dilutions can work. Suppose you make a mixuture 10-90 of tomato sauce and distilled water. What will be the pH of the result? One pH division from the original in the direction of pH 7. Soil is complicated. There are solids in soil that may not dissolve in water. OTOH, what does it mean to have a pH where the solute is not water? I don't know. So what I would do is cover 10% of soil with 90% of distilled water and test the pH. The result should be in the ballpark of the soil pH, but moved by 1 division in the direction of pH 7. These simple formula are approximately correct if your tomato sauce / soil have a pH far from 7. But if the formula (add or subtract 1) changes your solution from acid to base, then don't believe it. In this case, you must learn the details of pH and compute the dilution properly.

This is intended to mix into you garden soil. However, I DID use it in containers [because the price was so good] but I mixed it half and half with potting soil and that has worked nicely.

I would not think this product would be good for lawns. For outdoors, my suggestion would be to thoroughly water the area to dilute the urine.

I use this product in my aquarium to lower the ph. My tap water comes out at 7.5 and this product lowered it to 6.0 (my RO water comes out at 6.4). I plan to spread the used moss over my yard. I had no way to determine if its sterilized, but I did examine it and there are no apparent side effects to my fish.

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.

Hi, Unfortunately mixing it with water will make it become more mud-like and the sprayer won't work. My husband just takes his hands and puts it around the lawn and around the plants. There aren't any chemicals in it so you can touch it. Thank you. Wheatgrasskits

I looked at the container of Ornamec grass herbicide which we have and read the list of ingredients. There is no mention of arsenic. It seems to contain mostly petroleum distillates. It does mention that it is harmful to fish so not to use near water areas. I have a hunch that the reason your lawn service doesn't want to use this is the cost. I'm not sure the exact cost at present but when I bought it, it was over $60.00 for 1 quart. I bought this because of the rave reviews I read regarding it's effectiveness against Bermuda grass. Further, I don't believe the government would allow any product to be sold which contained arsenic. Hope this helps!
