Just add a little lime. If none available then cement would serve as well

Lime takes a long time to work. I would try wood ash if you are going to use
it for potting soil. Here is a product that I picked up at garden show but
haven't tried yet. It is called pH+Plus www.heartnsoil.com


Mason's lime (slaked lime) will work immediately.

I don't see being acid as a bad thing for potting soil; municipal water
is always alkaline and will neutralize the acid over time.
