Blueberries and PH

We planted Blueberries in the only available space left on the Ponderosa. Apparently we need to lower the soil PH from 6.6 to below 6. Is there an organic way to do this.

Is there an easy way to test that? Last year I put in my blue berry bush and I want to make sure she is healthy this year.

This isn't like me. I forgot to check this post. Thank you Marlingardener. I also found a sight that suggested white vinegar.. Any thoughts? We found the peat moss idea after planting and we are using pine needles as a mulch.

I apologize to all for forgetting the post. I hate it when people don'y drop by and say thank you after taking time to answer. Thanks to all.
