i would use sawdust, or wood ash. all the commercial growers in the willamette valley, oregon apply sawdust mulch every year for increasing acidity and adding organic matter. sand isn't going to do squat. leaf mulch might help, but it would have to be applied year after year, with minor effect. a pine/fir needle mulch might do better than oak leaf even. peaceful valley farm supply carries "tiger 90" an organic approved sulfur product formulated for lowering pH. remember sulfur overdoses can be toxic. karen tillou oregon city, OR - zone 8a and wet On Jan 26, 2008, at 8:36 PM, Jerrydana5@aol.com wrote:
