a bird net? HA – let me know how that works out –
Thank you for this! How much fertilizer do you normally use around plants? I just got started with blueberries and love watching your channel from Indiana!
Can I add the sulfur in the fall or should I want until spring.
Luke, When is the best time to transplant blueberries bushes? A friend has a ton and said I could take as many as i would like. MN growing.
Does the tulle allow for bee polination? When do you install it?
Where I live the soul PH is roughly 11 or 11 .5 tomatoes will kind of grow but very slow and you will absolutely have blossom end rot.
Do you have or know of a guide that gives instructions on how to plant a garden/fruit trees/bushes that show which fertilizers to use with each one? There is so much information that I need to know I'm getting confused. Something that doesn't have TMI but gets right to the point. I have found Clydes Garden Guide and it tells me when to plant, how much and when to harvest (Google it, I highly recommend it) but I would love to buy a guide on maintaining the nutrients and Ph levels with soil mixture etc. Can you help me?
Luke, Should I prune the blueberries in the Fall?
my blueberry plants are about 4 years old and I've never trimmed them. Can I trim them now?
I would rather amend more often then destroy environments … No Peat Moss!
I had no luck with blueberries in the ground or in pots until I planted them in pure peat moss (in pots). They look fantastic, now. But, pH can change over time due to watering, so I'm prepared to amend with sulphur as necessary.
I struggle getting the pH amendment to last all season, and knowing when/how often to apply… I noticed that it wears off over the summer as irrigation washes it away, and it takes a while to work after you apply it so I can never catch it in time 😢.
Thanks for sharing.
I have an odd question. Is there anyway I can use the pH test strips that I test my vinegars with for my soil? I don’t have the money to send off for a soil test to be done.
I have the same shirt. Its awesome! I have 6 blueberry bushes I'm about to start pruning thanks to your video. All my blueberry bushes are companion planted with strawberries and have never had discolored leaves.
Thanks for the tips. Last year I had about a dozen wild blueberry plants pop up in my side yard so I've been nurturing them. This year I had a great harvest but like you I really didn't know much about them haha. Thanks to you and let Marvin know I appreciate it too!
Come on people, dont ruin your soil year after year with sulphur and too much fertilizer. Its more of a microbe issue than it is ph. With the correct soil biology you can grow blueberries right next to tomatoes or anything else… sulphur and peat are a bandaid not a solution. Yearly additions of good compost and natural mulch is the way to go. Even multuple times a year. This over time will welcome all the correct microbes for each plant. The addition of sulphur and liquid fertilizers will only render the microbes useless. Do you want your soil health to get better every year? Or continue buying huge bags of sulphur? That all being said. Your channel rocks! But remember, just because something works commercially. Doesnt mean you should do it in your soil.
I built an arbor around my blueberries and use the tull over my blackberries. I HATE the normal netting.
Did u already have the pumpkin picking?
Do we prune blueberries early in spring or fall?
And this whole time I've been fertilizing once to break dormancy lol. Looks like I'm going to switch things up
We had a lovely patch of blueberry bushes…until we had a rabbit invasion this year. They stripped all the foliage and left sad looking stumps!
The idea of using tuiie is a useful one, except that the bunnies gnawed through that to get to all our peas, too !!
Next plan, chicken wire with a layer of tuile inside. Thanks for all the useful advice, Luke.
Fertilizing as the fruits are ripening sounds like a recipe to get fertilized fruit! Not for me..I’ll stay conventional.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 KJV
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:6 KJV
I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:5 KJV
This was very helpful, thank you.
