In response to message posted by Treeman:
The wilt photo shows I'm doing something right??? Although the shrub that starred in those photos is very much alive and happy this year.

My pine stand IS very old - 80 years at least. The only change we made to it is to eliminate the grass by putting huge quantities of mulch over it so that I could plant a few dwarf conifers and heaths on the sunny side and the rhodos and azaleas on the shadier side. And you're right - most of the soil on this property is already acid. The one exception is my wooded area - the old owners used to have a LOT of bonfires there and the soil is thick with ashes - so I move to that side of the yard and need to learn a whole new set of rules about gardening! Although I lined a path down into those woods with baby rhododendrons and they seem to be thriving.
