Some very desirable plants, like rhododendrons, azaleas, and blueberries, demand acidic soil, and many gardeners have alkaline soil, which is not suitable for growing these plants. The most common solution I’ve seen is to mix peat moss with the soil to produce an acidic environment.
Peat moss is acidic, so it makes sense that if you add some to your soil, the resulting soil will also be more acidic. But is this really true? How long does the acidity last? Can gardeners with alkaline soil use peat moss to grow rhododendrons, azaleas, and blueberries?
