How To Plant Blueberries

Today, we're going to talk about how to plant blueberries. Blueberries need a sunny spot, although, they will tolerate some shade. High-bush blueberry will grow to between four and six foot tall so they need a fair bit of room and they also need an acid or ericaceous soil.

If you're planting in the ground, you need to make sure that they have a good feed of sulfate of ammonia, sulfate pot ash, and bone meal. And then, mulch the whole area in ericaceous soil to keep the acid level up. Alternatively, you can grow them in a pot and you can buy ericaceous soil from any garden center.

Make sure that they've got enough room. Not too big a pot but not two pot pounds, and they need to be kept moist. High-bush blueberries will grow to about four to six-foot tall.

Blueberries are deciduous, which means they'll lose their leaves in winter. In spring, they have these lovely, little white flowers and in autumn, the foliage goes a fantastic scarlet red colors. They really are quite an asset to have in the garden, not just for the fruits but, also for the foliage and the look of the plant.

You need to keep the blueberries moist and the best thing to do is water them with rain water. The reason for this is that ordinary tap water is really quite hard and full of scale, whereas with rain water, the acidity level is already higher. And that's how to plant blueberries. .
