I would use it. The directions are very good. It is slightly lower in potash (K20) than I'd like, but a once per year supplement would take care of that. The sulfur content is high, perhaps to offset the pH of the Magnesium Oxide. I would mix it with several liters of water in a bucket and check the pH. If it is too acidic (below 6), then Potassium Bicarbonate would be the ideal choice to raise the pH. I would target about 6.2 pH.
