I feel like Ive been posting too much, but I added some ammonium sulfate, elemental sulfer, dolomite lime and epsoma brand garden fertilizer to the 200 sq ft potato/ tomato patch. I didn't measure exactly, but maybe about a pound of each except the elemental sulfer only 1/2 lb or so. Hopefully I didn't add a full pound of ammonium sulfate because I do believe excess nitrogen could ruin my efforts. But with the way its been raining, there shouldnt be any excess fertilizer anywhere. Plus theres still so much brown material to break down.

I could do a soil test, but I think things will be ok. Hopium (it comes first before Hydrogen and Helium) levels need to drop before I take a look at all the other elements.

A chrmistry side note: elemtal sulfer plus dolomite would equal gypsum if they were able to re-combine. I'm not sure how much they can or cannot recombine when sprinkled and thrown around in a scattershot manner. The chemicals can recombine however they want, I'm not the solubility police.
