Not only will the breaking down of organics help but ,if you're not killing them off with fertilizers and/or pesticides and fungicides, the plant will attract fungi and bacteria that will modify the ph to suit their host plant (over the course of a couple of years). The best step forward is to add lots of organic material. Like C.musa said, Mulch, Mulch, mulch.
