When to Use Soil Acidifier

How Much Soil Acidifier Should You Use?

! We recommend wearing gardening gloves when feeding your plants!

Hydrangeas & Blueberries

New Plantings: 1.25 cups per plant
Established Plants: 2.5 cups per plant

Spread evenly around the plant out to the drip line and water well. Repeat in 60-day intervals until the desired pH or bloom color is achieved for your plant.

Potted Plants:

One tbsp. for each 4˝ of pot diameter.

Broadcast Rate:
Apply 12 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. for each one-point reduction in soil pH desired. For heavy clay soils increase the rate to 15 lbs. A gradual reduction in soil pH is preferred as dramatic reduction can result in stress on your plants.

As a Fertilizer: Apply 1/2 cup per 100 square feet (1 tablespoon per plant) around the root zone

*Safer than Aluminum Sulfate due to potentially toxic levels of Aluminum with continued use of Aluminum Sulfate.
