To change soil pH:
A. To increase the pH value, lime should be added. Lime is a compound of calcium, or calcium and magnesium. Applied in the form of ground agricultural limestone, burnt lime or hydrated lime for the quickest result.
B. To decrease the pH value use either aluminium sulphate or sulphur. Aluminium sulphate is the quickest acting as it will increase the acidity as soon as it dissolves into the soil.
Quantities of additives will vary depending on the type of soil, consult a gardening book or professional gardener if further advice is needed.
