Hi, I hust had a soil test done on a new patch that I am going to work. it shows my ph at 5.5 and my sulfur at 9ppm. Doesn't sulfur lower ph.. and if s o how can i raise both the ph and my sulfur levels at the same time?

Gypsum has both calcium and sulfur to keep the pH unchanged. If you want sulfur (and almost everyone needs Ca), maybe some gypsum and some lime along with it to cover the pH increase. I think in this case, someone else should chime in before you do anything though.
