I have an azalea in a pot that is just coming into flower. What can I use to feed it other than buying an ericaceous feed?

You can use oak leaves and pines needles raked around your plants to help acidfy the soil. This worked fine for me for years. jjs. W. Palm Beach, FL

Azaleas are acid loving plants, mir-acid is all I use.

Use pickle juice; when the pickles are gone fill the jar with water, shake well and pour on the soil. I used this for years while living in Florida, after my neighbor gave me his secret. He had the nicest azalea's in our neighborhood.

First - you don't want to feed Azaleas until after they finish with their blooming. After that - coffee grounds and leftover brewed coffee!

I believe azaleas are acid-loving plants, so you can mix some used coffee grounds into the soil occasionally.
