I've grown blueberries but never done well at it. I think the soil may be too wet, as we are about 18 in of topsoil over a solid 30 ft or so of clay. The water has nowhere to go. Also, I put a bunch of cedar bark in the soil, I thought that would be a good idea but turns out cedar and redwood are hard on young berries. Hoping to do better this year.
Moist bush!
I grew a low bush European blueberry, berries were very few but very tasty .
The plants demise came with the arrival of a mini digger during home improvements.
Is a good ideia to add vinager in the soil to down The pH?
why you say manure isnt good?
i used chicken manure in small balls without pathogens.
This man alliteration game be bussin’ no cap.
I have some 10 gallons bag i was going to put potatoes in but i changed my mind,would these be ok for blueberries?
Next year I want to get started on these as well!! Good vlogs thx!!
The netting you use over the garden is notorious for harming and killing wildlife 😢 especially birds…
Love the video… so if it’s bad to plant blueberries next to peppers or tomatoes…. What’s the minimum distance I can plant them ?
"fresh is best" I used to think this too, until I found my toddler sat with the freezer open, demolishing a tub of frozen blueberries. I tried one and I was surprised how much sweeter they were. The perfect snack on a hot day!
Можно ли сажать в перепревшие опилки ?
possibly the happiest dude I've seen yet. excellent.

Which type is best for Florida? Should I put them in the sandy soil or leave in the planter?
I LOVE BLUEBERRIES 🫐 thanks so much for helping me understand how to grow blueberries 🫐
Very interesting thank you
Early this year I took on a neglected allotment that has 7 blue berry bushes, consequently I do not know what varieties they are. However they are in fruit and I’ve started putting used coffee grounds around the base of each bush asI understand they add acidity. Next will be a pine mulch. Looking forward to harvesting these beauties.
Will cox cedar shaving harm you blue berries plants,? I am growing a pot but every I look at one these video I find that I have bought the wrong thing so I won't plant. They just setting there. I have already killed one blue berry plant by mistake. What is the right mix
Thanks
Im new to blueberry, I have potted Jersey, Bluecrop, Blueray, Bluejay, Chippewa, Legacy, Duke, Patriot, Sweetheart, Bluegold, Chandler, O'neal, Toro and then I got my mighty Rabbiteyes, Climax, Tifblue, Pink Lemonade, Brightwell.
Still looking to add Powderblue and Premier Rabbiteyes and a Brigitta Aurora and Elliot Northern Highbush to my Garden. I might add Reka and Arden later on with Spartan.
I have grown then in a shallow marginal shelf with great success. That was over 400m above sea level, in extremely acidic soil.
Thank for your blueberries, tutorial, very interesting, I might try them in the little garden we have. Or a large plant pot, thanks again. Have a great day
I live in northern Norway and as such can find these berries almost anywhere. When I’m out hiking during autumn it’s fantastic to find a big natural garden of blueberries. They are so delicious, much much better than store bought.
I’m in zone 7 in maryland. Any idea how to keep them from going into shock and dying when transplanted. I have planted 6 and either they have died from shock immediately or rabbits have gotten them shortly later.
They love banana 🍌 skin water to
I have several Tiff Blue blueberries. The berries are a little smaller, but they seem to have a better flavor. Also, I have found that with some of the larger berries, the skins are somewhat tough. I also have a service berry and the flavor is amazing. I have to fight the birds for these though.
Thanks very much, very good concise presentation, appreciate it. BTW, brown dead pine needles are not acidic. Since sphagnum peat moss is not sustainable and not renewable, and coconut coir is not sustainable, pine bark mulch is good for BBs. Aeration and drainage with rock minerals is important for BBs. Vermiculite is not that good for BBs since it holds moisture, a little can be used, perlite is popular but is not renewable, so pumice or the new "Growstones" (recycled glass, which looks and feels like pumice) may be best among the many options. One plan for varieties: 2 different varieties each for early, middle, and late blooming (6 plants).
here in Indonesia, fresh blueberries are often imported from Australia or even Argentina. so, wondering if these plants is cultivatable in tropical climates, or should I just go to highlands to plant it for cooler weather all year?
How long from planting to harvesting?
the acidic thing is not quite accurate. that is tolerance not a liking…blessings
Going to plant some next year what variety do you recommend? Going to make a raised bed for them as my 12 year old wants them in the allotment. Also silly question where do I get them from haha
