I had a soil test done for my NORMAL vegetable garden.

The lab recommended adding,

33 lbs of 12-0-12 per 1000 sq ft

10 lbs of Sulfur per 1000 sq ft

And 5 lbs of Muriate of Potash

My question is if I use Sulfate of Potash instead how much should I use per 1000 sq ft? Also I know SOP contains sulfur
so what should the rate of sulfur be when SOP is included? The Ph is 7.7 and the CEC is 19.8 also the sulfur is 15 ppm.
Obviously the PH needs to go way down.

Sulfur doesnt work for 90 days so fall is best,dont wait for spring

Adding organic matter that is high in Potassium may be a better option.

The fact they having you adding potassium twice concerns me.

Could they be recommending it because the phosphorus is very high 205 ppm? The potassium is not high at all 85 ppm.
