Huckleberry question

I just purchased a beautiful Huckleberry plant and have it in a 4 gallon pot. I bought MG acid liquid fertilizer but need something to further acidify the soil. What would be good for a container plant? I have read sulfur powder- so far can't find it. I don't think pine needles would decompose fast enough, and have read that contrary to belief, coffee grounds are not acid.

We have very alkaline soil here, so we grow Huckleberries cousin Blueberry in Peat. I mean literally - we buy a bale of peat moss in plastic, puncture the bottom for drainage, make a slit in the top, and plant the Blueberry bush in the bale. I periodically add Miraclegro for Azaleas (formerly called Miracid) to the water. If a Blueberry will grow this way, I would think a Huckleberry would, too. So try potting it up in peat, or make a mostly peat mixture.

Thanks, pollengarden, that's what I did- planted in pure peat and added organic soil acidifier that I purchased.

drobarr, that's what I got- the Espoma- I can use it on several plants that need acid--

Yes. That product is great!

There are also balanced granular fertilizers with some sulfur that are made for blueberries that can be applied annually that acidify.

You shouldn't need a lot of sulfur with peat, it is already acidic. So use a light hand.
