What is the best over the counter product to lower my PH level? I have Berm. grass and the PH level is 7.8

Kev,The best thing I suggest is to have a soil test to see why the pH is so high. It may be too much of one mineral or lacking in another. You will probably be needing sulphur in some form or another but it is best to see what you need from a soil perspective. Did you alraedy get a soil test to see the pH or did you get the results from a home test kit? What type of soils are you on? Where are you located?

Just some????…..Good Luck….

i bet money he’s in texas- we use sulfur to lower ph. i’ve seen lots of ph’s in this range. it takes alot of aps of sulfur to bring it down to an acceptable level.

try an ag supply or co-op store. perhaps Lesco if you live near a decent sized city.
