The pH can be this high naturally. I live near the coast in Western
Australia, and there is a very large limestone bed here, which is the
remains of a coral reef from a long long time ago. As a result, the
average pH in my garden is about 9, and adding sulphur and other organic
material only helps in the short short term, as more limestone just
dissolves out.
