How to make neutral soil more acidic to plant azaleas?
Do not add lime. Lime will raise soil pH (make it more basic - less acidic) Go to Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes or any plant nursery and buy Amonium Sulfate as a soil additive to increase acidity.
Reply:You may also use agricultural sulfur to adjust the ph, but lots of organic matter and azalea specific fertilizer are the best.
Reply:I was just at a Lowe%26#039;s and they had so many things to do so mnay things to so many plants, it was confusing. Your best bet is a garden center like that.
Reply:Go to your local fertilizer company and pick up some phosphate.
Reply:Adding a peat based compost without any lime you can also add some sulphate of iron especially formulated for Azaleas and other acidic plants which you can get from any good garden shops.
Reply:adding lime always works for me
Reply:Lime is an alkaline not an acid. It will do the opposite.
Reply:Use pine needle mulch, and ferrous sulfate. Oak leaves are also quite acidic and will help lower your ph. (Do NOT use aluminum sulfate, the aluminum builds up in the soil and is toxic)
Reply:A mulch of pine needles will help
