Default Avoiding Last Year's Blueberry Blunder

"Dwayne" wrote in message ...
You can make a good soil by mixing 1/4 peat moss, 1/2 dirt, and 1/4 compost
to begin with. I also like to add a little sand to help with drainage. Then
add the azelea food. I have used coffee grounds, but I made sure they were
dry before putting them on anything. Other wise they are quick to mold.
When they are dry, sprinkle them on loosely, or they will still mold. They
need plenty of water, every other day during dry weather, but dont want
their feet wet. Good luck, Dwayne


Someone suggested I use the following formula for the potting mix:

• 2 parts "commercial soil amendment with moistening agent added"
• 1 part Perlite
• 1 part Vermiculite
• 1 part sand

Does that sound like a good recipe for healthy blueberries?
