Do you drink coffee? You can throw some used coffee grounds in the mix and the acid from it can raise the PH levels in the soil. Just monitor it till you get used to it. Also be sure to start slow and work your way up because the coffee will still seep into the soil slowly. Give it time.

You can also add lime to the soil to raise the pH.
