I want to plant some blueberries and need to be sure my soil is acidic enough. Our native soils tend to be on the acidic side, but if I need to acidify, what are the preferred organic methods? Thanks! Kitty |

Powdered sulfur. There is also some sulfur in decomposed wood chips, oak leaves, gypsum, apple cider vinegar, and cottonseed meal. |

Check with your local county agent. There might be some varieties of blueberry adapted to your area. |

Thanks -- I have varieties that are suited to the area and I just got my soil test in today, which says the ph is a little higher than desirable. I have some organic AC vinegar, so this may be the easiest to use. How much do I use, and do I put it in the soil before planting or during planting or after planting? If the rain ever stops, I'll get these babies in the ground.
