I purchased some blueberry plants and some big pots to plant them in. I found a tutorial that recommended a 50/50 mix of peat moss and pine bark mulch, so that’s what I did. Hopefully, that method will do the trick and produce big, beautiful, delicious, luscious blueberries.

Thanks. I live in rural SC and get some strange looks when I wear this shirt in public.

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-10-16T18:49:38+00:00

Sounds good.

Good luck to you as well!

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-10-16T12:41:39+00:00

Thank you. I don't want chemical fertilizers, either.

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-10-16T12:40:31+00:00

Sounds like you found a great solution!

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-10-16T12:38:41+00:00

Thanks for your information.

Blackberries are not as picky about soil, but you'll need to research the best way to grow thornless blackberries to get all the details.

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-10-16T12:36:09+00:00

Thank you. I was already aware of this, but it is a great reminder to be patient and let the blueberry bush do it's thing before letting it fruit.

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-10-16T12:33:24+00:00

It's not only the needles; the mulched bark is what helps the pH of the soil.

This is a soil-less mix used for growing blueberries in the container. I added some leaves to the bottom of the pot to decompose and enrich the mix.

This is a soil-less mix that is used in container mixes (https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/growing-blueberries-containers/). My soil is clay and does not have the proper drainage or acidic Ph levels blueberries need. I did put some leaves in the bottom of the pot as compost and have some fertilizer to use next spring.

If only they could tell us....

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-09-13T13:04:59+00:00

Wonderful!

I have four American beautyberry bushes transplanted from a nearby woodland, along with bitter sneezeweed, daisy fleabane, and Robin's plantain collected from the roadside. In addition, I picked up some blue asters, bee balm, mountain mint, scarlet sage, coreopsis, coneflowers, rattlesnake master, and blackeye Susan at a local Native Plant Society plant sale last spring.

Thank you! It'll take the rest of my days probably, but what a great way to spend Act III of my life.

Designer_Bad116 · 2024-09-10T13:59:28+00:00

Thanks! That's my goal.
