In fact plants acidic fertilizer is also important as that of organic fertilizers for plants (azaleas,roses,rhododendrons, blueberry, hibiscus and other acid-loving plants) needs acidic fertilizers.For instance,eggshells are almost 100% calcium carbonate, one of the main ingredients in agricultural lime; vinegar has acetic acid; & coffee not only lowers your soil pH ,it also enriches it with nitrogen,magnesium and potassium.

Perhaps "Household acid and base fertilizers" would work for you?

After thinking about it as a way to give calcium to plants I decided that just crushing eggshells into my compost mix would work as well. Time, bacteria, rain, and regular watering should get the calcium into the root systems. I figure this to be true because oyster shell calcium is sold for gardening and that is not precipitated out in fine powder. It seems to dissolve naturally in the environment of the soil.
On another note: If coffee grounds are going to be spread upon the soil, why bother drying them? It seems to work fine dumped onto the base of the rose plants. (Grandma taught me that one years ago.)
