    This video was shot in the 1990s with a 4 mega pixel low resolution camera. Blueberries grow everywere were i live, the soil here i slightly acidic but has a good amount of npk and minerals, biology, worms. We have a mainly clay rock soil here in NL Canada.

    Helpful video to grow blueberries. Can you add chemical to fix bad water? What would that be? Thanks.

    Another question, should you add sulfur to the peat moss-sand mix?

    Hi Tim! 👋 I am been trying to figure it out where to buy the pine bark compost but no luck. U said in the video that is cheap but I live in san antonio and the nurseries don’t have none of that. Just wonder where u get ur pine bark compost. Thanks for the video it was very helpful cause I have 10 blueberries in containers 3 years old.

    How many blueberries can we produce in one pot?

    I read that pine needles are acidic when green, but when they turn brown, most of the acidity is lost. I agree that they make a good mulch, but not because it helps keep the soil acidic.

    Where do you find composted pine bark?

    Will an inline water filter for an RV or something work to remove salinity, this is exactly what’s been happening to mine. I never thought about the water being an issue. Thank you for this video!

    i was recommended to put pine needles on top to help with the acidic level . think i need a test kit would hate to mess up planting them .

    I’ve added two blueberries to my garden this year because of this video. You gave me confidence to try! Wish me luck…

    I have a few blueberries in my garden. my issue is soil. when you grow in containers ii use the same mix as when grown in the soil, which is 50 -% peat moss and 50% compost. can I use the media you listed for growing in soil?

    Would iron deficiency cause the leaves to be reddish/rust colored?



  16. Cris L on May 17, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    Very helpful, thank you!

    This is a very helpful video, but the bad video quality is ruining it.
