Jack's Classic Acid Special

This formula is specifically designed for acid-loving plants that struggle in neutral or alkaline soil. It is an excellent choice for azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, blueberries, and citrus trees.

Jack's Classic Acid Special works by lowering the soil pH. When the pH is in the correct acidic range, plants can more efficiently absorb essential nutrients like iron and other trace elements that might otherwise be locked away.

Yes, this is a great use case. Concrete foundations often leach lime into the surrounding soil, which raises pH levels and can cause yellowing leaves; this fertilizer helps counteract that alkalinity to keep your foundation plantings healthy.

No, this is a synthetic, water-soluble fertilizer. It is formulated for rapid nutrient uptake and precise pH adjustment rather than long-term soil building.

This product is designed to be applied as a root drench. Simply mix the water-soluble powder with water according to the package instructions and apply it directly to the root zone of your plants.

If the yellowing is caused by iron chlorosis due to high soil pH, then yes, this will help. The added iron and sulfur are specifically included to correct this deficiency and restore a deep green color to your foliage.
