Default Acid for berries

Does anyone know a good way to acidify soil for blueberries *other
than* aluminum sulfate? We're not much into eating aluminum. Is there
anything natural? Could we use pine needles, and if so, how much?

I've had great results with Oak Leaves. Pile'em as high as you can and they
will not only raise the acidity but improve the soil at the same time. Our
yeilds have improved dramatically since the Old Guy next door turned us on
to the practice.
