Hehe yeah I only ever got one season out of my blueberries, I didn’t know about ph then though. This time around I’m prepared with peat moss, sulfur and sulfuric acid on hand.
I just caught the runoff from a 12” potted nursery blueberry I bought, it’s really healthy and covered in blueberries. The ph of nute water was 4.5 or so and the runoff was around 2.6 … that seems really low but the plant seems healthy🤷♂️
I had all of that and my blueberries got burnt and shriveled up lol lost all their leaves after buying them as nice healthy bushes now have some in a pot in morning sun and afternoon shade but it's not an ideal spot so where can I plant them where they won't burn
companion plant. eliminate inputs. Study polyculture. If blueberries like acidic soil, plant them with other plants that need acidic soil (raspberries and trees, create hugelkulture), and add NATURAL inputs that create an acidic soil environment where they are growing.
Thanks for the feedback! Preparing for the season 🙂
I planted my blueberries 13 years ago and now the trees are amazing them. They haven't done well the last two years as the trees suck up most of the rainfall. How do I move them.
The move for blueberries is grow bags with high quality acidic soil. The grow bags air prune the roots to avoid root bound, and it allows you to directly control the PH.

Is it true tilling in shredded oak leaves, add acid to the soil?

Which variety is this?
Where do we get or buy acidic soil?
Is pruning important for blueberries? How to properly prune them to produce more fruits?

I have 5 bushes in my yard from the previous house owners and we don’t really take care of them just water them and they grow well every year
Im using lemon juice for my soil, just 1 tsp per gallon of water
planted mine outside next to a random blackberry bush. grew within 3 years. took me almost 6 to grow em with proper care. funny how nature works huh
Brother, full sun in florida kills most things, almost everything can grow in the shade here
Can you dilute vinagar to raise the acidity?
My blueberry plants grow perfectly in all shade.. no sun
solutions to reduce PH please?

And who told nature to do all things?
The best secret……Grow them in South Jersey
Ummmm mine is partial sun and it wont stop fruiting lol
Does "full sun" mean surface of the sun like we have in Texas summers?
No compost! The ph has to be right. Used pine bark fines or peat moss to amend the soil
Heard 67 and flinched
I planted 3 diff variety in one pot
