soakwells) limestonepad. Our alkalinity is high. chicken manure i was told

Hm OK Then I would suggest trying some sort of acid based correction.
Sulphate of Ammonia or similar.. Ask you nursery man or try this link
here...http://www.thegardenhelper.com/acidsoil.html
To be able to take up nutrient efficiently a tree or plant must have
a fairly neutral soil, unless it like the acid conditions...Then it will
cope...

Hope this webpage helps...
