I've put in a few delphiniums and platycodon where the soil is very acid, basically a clearing in a pine forest.

Can I moderate the soil acidity by watering these seedlings with some sodium bicarbonate dilution while waiting for the dolomite lime I've sprinkled around to take effect?

You can use Agriculture lime works today. Sodium Bicarb will neutralize but? Lime is Calcium Carbonate and It doesn't have the sodium. I would use the lime.
