What Bot said.

In the northeast we almost always have acidic soils although every now and then an alkaline one pops up in a soil test. Without a test you're just stabbing in the dark as to how much sulfur to apply.

Customers always want to know how far a 50 lb. bag of lime will go and are confused when I tell them anywhere from 250 sq.ft. to 5000 depending on your soil conditions and whether or not your trying to change pH or just maintain it. Amount of sulfur vs. pH is the same.

A soil test will take all of the guesswork out of it for you and makes it well worth the $10-25 it'll cost you.
