Can the acidic compost used for certain plants be used for non-acid-loving plants too?

I have bought special compost for skimmias, hydrangeas etc but have too much. Are other plants which don't need specifically acid soil likely to thrive in this compost?

no i wouldnt try it if i were you.
Reply:if you want to use it up mix with some soil and then use it will be o k then
Reply:I would hang on to it.

If you used it for plants in pots then they will need topping next year and if you used it for plants in the ground they could also do with more next year.
Reply:It'll depend on the individual plants. Plants which prefer alkaline soils will not relish a high acid compost.
