Planting Guide For Blueberries
Blueberries! The ultimate North American super fruit. A cold-hardy, temperate perennial bush that produces a staggering amount of berries for what ends up being very little maintenance.
Today, let's look at how we plant and grow the Highbush Blueberry Plant and all the things it needs to be successful. From soil type and consistency to light, moisture and of course pH!
We'll be potting up two established plants that need a little care into larger containers, but all of the strategies and methods are the same as if you were planting them in the ground. Once you get your Blueberries established, there's no stopping them!
Hey, for those that don't know, the website is now live! Check it out here, there's going to be some exciting new things happening!: theripetomatofarms.ca/
2023 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

What do I do if the PH is too low ? I used acidic potting soil for my potted blueberries and the PH is a one and I can’t find any info on how to raise it .
What an amazing video. You are explaining everything so thoroughly and clearly. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I've been looking at a number of blueberry planting videos recently as I'm getting ready to add a row of B. berries to the edge of my orchard. One important thing no one has mentioned is the number of winter chilling hours different varieties require. The people producing the videos seem to be from a climate that receives a lot of chill hours. I'm in a mild coastal climate and many varieties will not get enough chill hours to create fruit. I have a neighbor who has a dozen or so blue berry plants purchased at a local big box store. she doesn't see berries every year and when they appear they are low in number. I checked her varieties against a chill hour chart and each requires more chill hours that we normally get. I suggest adding a bit about choosing blue berry varieties suitable for local climates.
It has been many many years since we had blueberry plants. They started out very well until the deer ate them. Thanks for the how-to! Maybe we should try it again? Take care!

Thanks for all the great info, Jeff! I LOVE my blueberry plants!! I have 12, most are several years old, but I just can't help myself from picking up new ones, 😂 !! I would be interested in learning more about taking cuttings to propagate new plants. Also, I have found the perfect solution for protection from the birds. NOT bird netting, because the holes are too big, the berries pop thru it, and birds can get caught in it. The best is a fabric, called tulle (the material used for bridal veils). It's so easy to put on your bushes after pollination, with clothes pins. Birds don't even want to light on the material. It's perfect! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!!

Pine needles also make a great mulch for blueberries. They lower the ph and suppress weeds. 😊

Horse manure is high in acid and might be a great way lower the ph. Also horse manure works great to fertilize grass. That might why they grow so well together with blueberries.

The blackberry does well as well as 1 raspberry, but the blueberries need better soil. I live in zone 5b, south of Chicago, and it's quite cold. So I'm thinking I will remove the berries from their grow bag and replant follow your directions once the temps are a bit warmer. I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.

Bought my first plant last spring, plan on adding another this year. Have the elemental sulphur already after using to much wood ash in the garden raising pH. Second season after applying to garden and plants are better for it.

Just starting out with blueberries, but I've been growing dawn redwoods for thirty years, and they take a pH of 4.5 as well, so I'm ahead of the game on building acidic soils! I also grow everything in straight compost, as I make several cubic yards of it a year. I also noticed that you and I both still spell sulphur with a "pH," LOL.

I would let them do their thing. Any protection you give and they are only going to artificially warm up even more. If they are floweog early, there's no pollinators anyways. Let them run their course is I think your best bet.
Jeff, great info as usual! I've learned the hard way to get my blueberries to produce new canes and strawberries. We have natural clay heavy soil in our neighbourhood and never thought much of pH since our rain is slightly acidic and I was recommended a fertilizer for acidic loving plants. It wasn't until I repotted the blueberries in fabric pots and amended the container mix that it started producing new canes and finally some berries last year. Would you think it best to repot the blueberries (and how often) to freshen up the soil or can I simply top dress with elemental sulphur as required and mulch regularly?
