In the new house I'm building I'll collect rainwater. But that's a year away and i'd like to get a head start growing blueberries in mpots.

My soil ph and water ph are 8.0, certain death for blueberries. There's always sulfuric acid to neutralize water but I usually have a beer in one hand while gardening, so again certain death (me!).

One poster suggested n-phuric acid instead of sulfuric acid, supposedly it's much safer. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

Bob

I have not used it personally, but what I read about it suggests that it is quite effective, rapid and safe, a rare combination. Most other fertilizers only possess any two of those attributes. You also get a one-two punch from it: initially it releases sulfuric acid after reacting with soil moisture, and later the urea component is converted to nitric acid, further lowering the pH.
