Default rhododendron in lime soil

I got a question about making soil more acidic. Is it alright to use
cooking vinegar and dilute it to water rhododendron?

Thx,
Alex

I planted a rhododendron (dwarf rhododendron "baden-baden") in the
alkaline limey soil in my garden


As suggested, a localised area of more acidic soil is probably goinmg to

work
better for you, though I have seen pictures of rhodos in the wild growing

on
limestone outcrops, so the rules aren't hard and fast.
You may be able to get away with it the way it is, or perhaps with a

periodic
Miracid treatment.
