What about Epsom salts (Magnesium Sulfate)? I know there are some other
magneium supplements out there but I can't think what they are specifically
right now. The only thing that comes to mind is Epsom salts. (Also will add
some sulfer, but shouldn't really affect pH). Also, adding good deals of
compost (fully composted) always helps to fix almost any soil imbalances
naturally.
