That will depend on the soil type. If you are lucky enough to be starting with a well-drained soil, it can be acidified by adding large amounts specific organic materials that acidify as they break down, such as peat moss and composted oak leaves. If the soil has lots of clay and is poorly drained, adding lots of organic material can make the problem worse by holding more moisture. In that situation, it is better to acidify the soil using elemental sulfur or iron sulfate

Which is better for plants orange or apple juice?
It would be hard to say which is better. Orange juice will acidify the soil and some plants do not grow well in acidic soil. Both will add sugar to the soil which would encourage fungi and bacteria to grow which again may not improve the growth of the plant.
What are the effects of adding lime to fertilizer?
Altering the soil pH is the effect of adding lime to fertilizer.Specifically, lime acts to acidify the soil that is being fertilized. A more acidic soil comes up with a more acidic pH in soil analysis. Acidic pHs fall below the middle, neutral range on a 1-14 pH scale.
Is limestone good for pine trees?
Generally speaking, no it is not. Pine trees prefer acidic soil, and any kind of lime will sweeten the soil, making it more alkaline. Then the pine tree's own needle drop will slightly re-acidify the soil, yes, but you asked "is limestone good for pine trees", and the simple answer is "no".
