Default making your own acid feed

After going to the local garden centre I'm shocked to see how
*expensive*
acid feed it is for just a small packet.

I think there is iron in it so is there any way to make up a cheap acid
feed
my self?

For instance use some ordinary phostogen mixed with rusty nails or
brillo
pads? Thanks.


Traditionally didn't you bury your old razor blades around the base of
acid loving plants?




I thought the razor blades were used when planting spuds, for instant
chips! :-)
