Default [IBC] Azaleas and Acid Soil

Hello IBC'ers,
I've grown azaleas in New York without any problems, but after moving to
Maryland, a mid-Atlantic state, I find that some of the leaves on the
azaleas are turning yellow and dying. I read that this could be due to
the soil in this area which is not acidic. (The trees are healthy and
have flowered.) Since I cannot use rain water which is slightly acidic,
does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can increase the acidity of
the soil by amending it, perhaps with a commercial product?

With thanks,

Carol Schroeder
Maryland, zone 7
