lets first type the results. it did come lb/acre i convertted into ppm. ph is 7.3.
phos-206ppm
potassium 341 ppm
ca2260, mg272
sulfur 16
boron 1.2
copper 3.4
iron 197
manganese 61
zinc 10.6
organic matter 14.3%
my cec 12.1
calculated cation sats k 6.8 ca73.8 mg 17.2

i see the sulfur a little low. i thought by adjusting it would help bring the ph down. what does every one think?

pH is ok but add potassium sulfate

If you want to lower pH you need "elemental Sulfur" - yellow powder. Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4) won't help you with pH - the sulfur's already oxidized, so no H+ production. K2SO4 is fine, but spendy if all you want is sulfate. Unless you want more K, I'd probably use ammonium sulfate.

Either 3 or 4 pounds of ammonium sulfate over the whole 2000 square feet

Or maybe 1 or 2 lb of elemental sulfur
