Does anyone here grow blueberries? If so, what sort of conditions do
they like please?
Acidic soil, good bit of water, really nice soil. We're losing one of
the four we planted last year, haven't found the reason for it dying yet.
We mulch our blueberries with pine needles to help the acidity and,
sometimes, add a little dusting of acidity minerals. They do like
sunshine and need lots of water when berries are growing, not enough to
drown the plant but you will catch on quickly.
Our blueberries were blooming when a late frost hit us this year, no
berries. We ended up at a you-pick-em berry farm at US$3.00 a lb.
