Yes,that will work.I use to get it that way,but now buy the five gallon size,that comes with about a 1/4 inch outlet tube.There is an additional spigot sold,that I put on it,for easier metering.
My Blueberries are on drip and using an EZ-Flo fertigator.Not the best,but it’s better than carrying buckets of water.It dilutes it fairly quickly,but the plants look okay.
In the Summer,I’ll set the timer to come on about twice a day for about 1/2 hour.The emitters are 1-2 gallons per hour.
The ratio will need to be found out by using either pH test strips or a liquid,something like aquarium shops sell.If watering by hand,get a container,like 1 or 5 gallons and fill with tap water.In increments,perhaps 1 teaspoon at a time,add acid to the water and measure the pH each time,until a pH of 5 is reached.Then write that down or remember,the amount it took to reach it,for next time.
Acidifying the water doesn’t have to be done every time.Once a week should be okay.
Here’s the after market spigot for the larger acid container.
