    Straight peat moss works great. At one point I had 55 blueberry bushes in pots with just peat moss. I did fertilize them with a fertilizer for blueberries.

I grow sunshine blue blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries down here in Central Florida and just got the soil acidifier from home depot. I can't wait to see how it works. My plants are a few years old and starting to get big, so I figured it was time to freshen the soil and add some rich nutrients in with it. Thanks again! It's always so great to see you! 🌱🐞

    This is very timely as I have blueberries in 2 gallon pots from last year & was looking to transplant to larger containers. Mine bloom early & then a month later. A 22 in is probably not quite big enough for both together at this point, but will make sure to keep them close to each other. They are leafing out & getting buds now. Western WA weather is definitely different than yours so mine love as much sun as possible.

The natural places to find Blue Berries is in Pine Forests so you are 100% correct about the sun requirements.

    Unless they are dwarf varieties, two in one pot is crowded. The varieties you planted get to be 6' wide and tall. You did say the growth was less in a pot. Blueberries can live 50 years. The patriot blueberry gets huge berries! They're northern highbush. I know this because I was researching blueberries for where I live, which requires southern highbush. I really enjoy your videos, but you're costing me a small fortune! I'm going to try that jug sowing that you had a video about!

    I have some giant terra cotta pots like that. The only bummer is that if you leave them outside for the winter (at least here), they may eventually break. The big rolled edge broke completely off of one of mine this year. I was *very* sad. I think you are supposed to empty them of all the soil and turn upside-down for the winter and maybe cover them with burlap or something. Since mine are filled with perennials, I was never planning to empty mine. I am planning to switch to fiberglass pots as budget allows.

    Congrats on 500k! Hello from Killarney, south west Ireland. I have watched all your videos since I found you - most of them more than once. I just love listening to you and I learn new techniques all the time. Not sure if you used the phrase ‘breaking the root memory’ quite sometime ago. I would not have dreamt of playing with the roots but now I smile and think of Laura. I have been trying to grow all kinds of plants in containers -bulbs do very well, but the dreaded vine weevil really loves heuchera and no plant is really safe. I need help preparing a border, so fingers crossed.Rambling on, my first ever comment, so please forgive me. I enjoy reading comments from others. You both have built a super gardening community, great credit due to you. Thank you for sharing Benjamin with us, he is so cute. Lots of love Sile.
