Anything over 5.5 is too basic. The plants may survive
but they will not thrive.

My 2012 garden plan calls for three Blueberry bushes
planted in a row as female-male-female. They will be
late season bloomers.

My question is "If the pH of my soil is higher than 5.5,
what can I do so that Blueberry bushes survive and thrive?

get some aluminum sulfide or bonide and follow the instructions! Works like a charm. I got my own acid tester for like 5$ off amazon and I was able to check it and record the levels as I went along! Easy peasy!
