EPA worries more about the mercury emissions from coal than sulfur. AMS is 1/3 cheaper here anyway so I try to push that without moving the soil PH too much. It has a very noticeable effect. I tend to avoid it on onions though unless soil is severely deficient. I would NOT want to live in a place like Beijing. Many farms have been mining their soil for decades. It is starting to catch up to many farmers who don't apply any manure. |
