Generally decomposing organic matter is acidic because it adds hydrogen to the soil, you can neutralize it by adding domestic lime from your local nursery.
Look it up in Wikipedia.com, a great resource.

Pine trees, tomatoe plants, Magnolia trees.
Puts some lime out and it will even out the ph level.
