@EazyT839, If you have clay soil (alkaline,) plan to only grow a few blueberry plants and have a small backyard, then I think it would be easier to grow them in large pots. That is how I am growing mine. Easiest to bags of growing mix that are made for acid-loving plants. Because the acid mix is usually made for the ground and not for potting, I like to amend for better drainage. I add a little perlite and coco coil to the mix. __If your pot only has one drain hole, then add more. If you see videos that tell you to add rocks at the bottom of the pot, DON'T do it. It is a garden myth and contrary to its intended purpose, it can lead to root rot (I can cite respected sources for info.) __Even if the tag reads that the variety is self-fertile/self-fruitful, it is still better to get two different varieties (of the same type.) The cross pollination is supposed to give larger fruit and better yield. __I use rainwater (neutral to slightly acidic,) for my fruit plants because our tap water is alkaline. When I run out of rainwater I can add vinegar to my tap water to lower Ph, but that is only a temporary fix. So, I purchased the Jobe's soil acidifier pellets (Sulfur,) to mix into the top 6 inches of soil. It takes time for the soil microbes to break down the Sulfur into Sulfuric acid.
We have chickens, so mine get composted chicken poo. Our tiny plot is also surrounded by little year-round streams, so I planted the Blueberries about 5 feet from the moist soil next to one of the streams. I must prune them this year as one of them is now ten + feet tall and bending over, but is heavy laden with fruit.
Thank you so much! I did serious soil amendment, digging out a deep and wide hole. I included peat and a small amount of sand with the composted soil, as the bed they went into was a clay soil shrub bed. That was not fun to dig by hand, but at least someone else removed the shrubs. I recall sprinkling something in, so that must have been an acidifier. I fertilized them this spring and they seem to be doing fine. We have had a lot of rain. I was worried some that our downspout right above them was clogged and dumping over the top and flooding the ground between the two, but maybe that was a blessing in disguise. Between cutting down a locust tree nearby, which also allows more sunlight, and the massive spring rains, the downspout is working properly now,just dumping nearby. 👍 I really appreciate the tip about vinegar in the water. I need to check pH, so I will definitely keep that in mind. Again, thank you for sharing good information.
Thank You for all the helpful information! We love this fruit but I saw a video with some sort of pessimistic information regarding their growth. Congratulations on your beautiful plump crop.
Thanks so much. Do you have any more tips about blueberries? I really need to find suppliers with this variety of south high bush blueberry. But I don’t think I can find any in Vietnam tho. Anw, always interested in growing my own blueberries. Thanks again for this valuable knowledge.
Great video.. although I disagree with the the established PH recommendations. The literature firstly does not consider Redox (Eh) as PH is not independent, and secondly at the recommended range for PH, you'll have a hard time seeing calcium uptake which is where size and firmness will be determined. Anyway great video!
I will try your methods and see if I do better. Have two bb plants, but will propagate 20 like you've suggested for a yield of 5. Will let you know how it goes!!!
Thank you so much! This helped tremendously I know what to do now with all of my blueberry bushes. And the new ones I’m planting soon. I propagated from my original one and added new varieties. I really appreciate your information.❤🌱
Thanks! I wish I knew this 20 years ago :D Any tips how I can get a 20 year old very tall cherry tree back into shape? Can I just cut the trunk in half and start from scratch?
I love watching and sharing your videos with friends. I am not much in to big gardening and a fig tree I planted is still not giving any fruits after five years but my neighbor’s already getting fruits after one year!.. so discouraged by that. Please keep making amazing videos.
I just found this channel today and I’m so happy this is so wholesome. I had a plant phase in the beginning of the pandemic but adhd makes it hard to water plants and I spend all my energy tending to my pet frogs. I recently started working with my mum because I love doing the planting part but am terrible at long term care while she is the opposite, and now we have a balcony garden that’s really beginning to thrive. Almost immediately, we noticed bugs starting to appear. First aphids, but then beetles, paper wasps, hover flies, and even a cicada. I was shocked because we live on the 15th floor of a high rise city apartment and have less than two square meters of space. About a month ago, I planted some blueberries in pots and to my surprise, within a week a beautiful native bird found it’s way to our balcony and ate a blueberry and a half. The next day, almost all the blueberries were gone. I have decided that these birds are friends, and that as long as what I am planting is safe and healthy for them, I’m more than happy to share. The plants are still tiny and there are no blueberries right now but I’ve already decided to dedicate half the space to growing blueberries so that there will be enough for not only my mum and I, but also the birds.
Thank you VERY Much for all your informative planting advice. Truly enjoy all your videos!! I was curious if you had ever tried growing a type of pigeon pea used in the tropics. In Puerto Rico this plant is called glandules. I live in zone 8b in SC and my wife has had good success. Of course this is a plant we enjoy , but perhaps not everyone. Just curious . Thank you again for your videos Joe Arena
TY for another great vid, Jag! I'm gonna try blueberries after seeing this. Our dogs love 'em & so do we. Will be so much better eating home grown organic ones. All the best to you & yours.
My hound dog loves berries. If she gets near our blueberry bushes she will eat every berry! The bottom 3 feet of our saskatoon bushes are stripped clean from the dog. If I'm in the greenhouse she will sit outside and bark at me until I give her a strawberry. haha
Thank you for the new to me blueberry tip, especially vinegar. With all the weather relate incidents during the past two years in the Portland OR area, all my berry plants and fruit trees are still suffering from the stress. I’m hoping for some recovery this year.
Cool video, just discovered your channel! Quick question: how much sulfur did you add and how much did it lower pH? Wasbthe decrease long lasting or do you add sulfur at a cerain frequency? Thanks!
The man at the nursery where they have a lot of blueberries that they sell told me that they put fake rubber snakes on the plants on the birds will also not get close to the plant either which makes sense
Hey Jag, what kind of container variety is suitable to grow in Northern California. I live in Folsom CA , would love to grow blueberry, but cannot grow them in the ground as we have our neighbors big oak trees near to our fence. So looking for some container varieties
Can you provide some information regarding varities of blue berries that can be grown in India right around the tropical regions of india especially Bihar and jharkhand.
I don't like sweet things. I like sour things with more malic acid. Which blue berry variety should I get? Everyone talks about sweet, sweet, sweet... But that is of no interest to me.
@@lovellmendez2207 all compost contains high levels of salt which is bad for blueberries and over time it will raise ph. I have over 600 bushes, and know what works and what doesn’t. Compost doesn’t work.
Thanks for the video. I don't have a lot of room for all of the fruit trees and blueberry bushes but in today society where the Democrats are killing the economy we now have to plant everything that we can so we don't have to rely on the store. Today we see more times than not empty shelves at the stores and higher prices for the foods and gas we need so watching your videos is helpful
Hello! I would love to get advice on what you use for the sulphur you add and how much per plant. I heard you say elemental sulphur, but do not know what that would be. Thank you so much!!
It will say Elemental Sulfur, also look of OMRI logo on the bag, that means its good for organic use. There are calculations online for sulfur, it depends on you soil ph, and type of soil you have, and area you want to cover. I was going to include this in the video but it was getting pretty boring with all the math lol
@@DaisyCreekFarms thank you for the info!! It will get be started to find what I need. And NEVER boring for us gardeners. We need to know these things to get it right! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!!
I will make a video on how to make soil acidic or alkaline in which I will share all the calculations :) Thanks, you gave me a good idea for the video!
Thank you very much. btw, wood chips are either hardwood or conifer. Hardwood (deciduous) chips are alkaline to neutral and should not be used with BBs. Coniferous chips should be used with BBs. Pine bark mulch is most commonly used for BB mulch. Many use vinegar to acidify soil, but many ag scholars and other experts recommend against vinegar, saying it is too harsh or intense for the soil microbiome and roots, even when diluted. Yes, BB like moisture, but they like flow-through moisture, not sitting in moist soil. For this reasons, rock minerals are good for aeration and drainage. Since sphagnum peat moss is non-renewable and unsustainable, and coconut coir is not sustainable, pumice and the new Growstones seem the best of the many options (Growstones are recycled glass that look and feel like pumice), but outperform it according to the company that makes it.
Hello Jag. Very nice video. Your blueberries look amazing. I am new at growing blueberries. Where can I find face moving Owl you show it in your video. Please share the link or source. thanks
Can you water your bluberies with diluted apple cider vinegar…like 1 glass of apple cider vinegar for 10l bucket of water…will that beok for bluberry plant???
My native soil is very alkaline. Even my water is alkaline! Even so, I have been able to grow blueberries in pots of 100% peat moss and I try to water with rain water. And lots of soil acidifiers as you said.
Thanks Jag, I bought a fake owl (just like the first one in the video) and I saw bird droppings on it, so they are sitting on the owl !!!!!!!!!!!! I had to go to a net solution, I only have 3 bushes.
I've recently bought 2 blueberry plants and potted them in containers. I've used soil specific to the needs of the blueberries but my berries taste sour. What do they need to sweeten up? Will Epsom Salts make them sweeter?
I am living in Iowa.Which type of blueberry plant I need to buy?? Can I plant near to my patio . I don’t know much about blueberry roots whether it affects buildings or not.
Your info going to help me greatly I’m sure! I have a few blueberry plants but there not doing very well. Unfortunately my soil is clay too! Have no idea what the ph is? But I’m sure it’s not right either? Blueberries I do get aren’t so much ate by the birds so much, it’s the darn deer that love my blueberries. They seem to get my berries before I do! So that’s another problem I got to deal with as well! I do have this dream of having long rows of nothing but huge growing blueberry plants as far as the eye can see! That’s the dream, reality several rows a 100 ft long or so I be happy! 😂 Hopefully I’m the near future I can least get a good start? Thanks again for your info!
Hello! If I could give you a small bit of advice for protection against the birds AND I bet it would stop the deer too...but a fabric called tulle. It has smaller holes than bird netting, which the blueberries pop thru and can be eaten. I purchase tulle on Ebay by the bolt, 40 yards, 54 inches wide for around $10. I cover my bushes using clothes pins to attach. I experimented last year and covered 4 plants and it was a game changer!! NO bird damage at all!! So I will be covering ALL 14 of my plants this year with the tulle!! Good luck and happy gardening!!
Wow. Beautiful berries. We love blueberries but it’s often too tart. We’re on the cooler west side of San Francisco. Do you think it is warm enough to produce sweet berries.
I should have know to check here first. Lots of people telling us what to do, when they are only repeating nonsense they hear from someone else! Also learned that sandy soil tends to be more acidic, from a university, which is great since my soil is as sandy as it gets.
Thanks for the info. We have lots of wild blueberry plants an our land most of them are in shady areas and I want to transplant them to a sunny spot. The few that are in full sun make really sweet medium size berries. Do you have any tips on transplanting? Maybe a video on it? SMILE! ~Nanny~
@@hootnannyhomestead8338 I've transplanted wild blueberries (I'm talking true wild ie low bush berries that grow 4-6 inches tall) in the spring and fall when the soil is wet. I generally move the whole sod and cut the plant down to soil level.
My god, a gallon of water per foot on the hottest days of the year.... My friends in California limit their showers and removed their lawns to save water.
Are your blueberries blue inside when ripe? I live in the south and haven't found one that is blue inside like you buy in the store. This is not a rabbit- eye plant.
Hello many thanks for all the information. How can I order very small seedlings that can be sent by mail internationally? can you send seedlings? regards
Now I want lots of blueberry plants!! Our Aussie birds are not deterred by owls one bit. My ducks would chase the birds but eat the blueberries lol. Maybe I should get a dog
I have a big huge blueberry bush . It gets flowers. But no fruit yet. I have a small other blue berry next to this bush. Last five years now . No fruit
I like your u tube channel well spoken and sraight to the point i eve.n like your accent ive been gardening for about 40 years your obviously very knowledgeable thanks
