If you have a soil Ph of 8 like I have you can use a lot. It takes a while
to absorb. I use agricultual sulphur 0-0-90 about $6 per 50 lbs it is cheap
I don't have my charts handy on pounds per sq. feet for 8Ph, but will dig
it up if you want.

so Dan are you saying that putting sulphur around all paw paws will help
them... I didnt use any soil amendments for the seedling paw paws I planted
either. how much do you suppose you would top dress a seedling with?

my
excitement for a few years till after I see what happens with the trees.
