Iron Sulphate will do what you want. Quality should be pretty much the same no matter brand.
Have you got enough time for this stuff to work? I don't know off-hand how long it takes for the stuff to dissolve and acidify the soil. Check it out.
You can use pure Sulphur but it takes a whole season.
What makes yr soil alkaline? How do you know it's alkaline? Come back ...

Cheers ...

I went out and baught a soil tester it test the light soil and how wet the ground is and it came back alkaline , I'm not sure how long it will take eaither might have to use my second location if this soil don't acidify for growing season to start

Good you've got a pH Test Kit. How much iron sulphate will depend on how alkaline yr spot is. How alkaline is your spot?

If you're only a little bit above 7 digging in animal manure which is acid may be all you need. What range are you in? How far above '7'?
