RE: Tips for Growing Blueberries Successfully
Your blueberries are so healthy @thelaundrylady. I love blueberries but have no success in growing them. I'm sure it's the soils pH. I'll bookmark this and refer when I am can find plants again
Thank you. I seem to remember you are in South Africa. If the soil PH is too high, you can try adding lots of organic matter in the planting hole. Organic matter is naturally acidic. I doubt you can get your hands on peat moss or it would be helpful to add in the planting hole. Peat moss itself is acidic. You can also use sulfur, but I would use very little. Sulfur has fungicidal properties and can negatively affect soil biology if overused.
Thank you! My husband says he thinks he can get peat moss. We are wanting to make planter boxes on our enclosed porch. It's far more sheltered, under our immediate observation and has almost full day sun. I will be planting my more fragile herbs there. Do you think the blueberry would do there?
