Easily Grow Organic Blackberries in Containers (Part 1)

Growing fresh Organic Blackberries at home is easier than you think. I just requires a certain soil mix with a lower than normal ph at about 5.5 to7 ph. I will show you what you need to do when you plant your blackberries. You will need at least a 5 gallon container to get started and an acid soil mix to lower the ph. I explain everything you need to know about growing organic blackberries in a smart pot container. Stay tuned for part 2 to see the harvest. There is nothing better than homegrown organic blackberries. The variety I planted is called a Prime Ark 45 which was created in Arkansas

Good berry video. Thank you.

Awesome great tip on the mulch

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

Ya no problem. Hope that helps.

[@Pixics]

that's a good idea to make a shovel out of an old milk jug.

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

Ya I love that thing. I think it was a gallon vinegar bottle. That thicker plastic works great. I might do a video on plastic bottle hacks. Thanks

We actually bought some acid pellets and put a scoop of it in every month. So far it's worked out ok, got a decent amount of blueberries this year.

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

That is great. I can't wait till next harvest. Your pellets must be working it sounds like.

I'm growing 2 osage blackberry bushes i n milk crates place them on the Southside of my 🏠 where they get lots of 🌞 shine they love it I use my fall leaves for mulch and keep it watered from Waldorf Maryland

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

Thats great. Good idea to use the leaves as mulch. South facing is best with that full sun. Cheers from San Diego.

How fast do blackberry plants that size grow? I just planted a sweetie pie blackberry plant about that size two months ago. Still healthy and two canes have emerged, but not too much growth. Great tips.

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

They grow slow at first but once established they should do well and certain types only turn into a bush not a long vine. Give it a little time and thick mulching layers

What blackberry varieties will ask survive in central Florida

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

I would call some local nurseries in your particular area. They would know the best varieties to grow there. Some climates do better than others.

Could I get ride of air pockets by adding water into the mix ?

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

definitely add water and pack a little to get rid of air pockets. You should be fine

[@wemuk5170]

How many gallons (size) is your bag, I wonder? Thanks.

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

I believe that was a 5 gallon or 7. 5 is fine for starting out.

[@wemuk5170]

@@GrowingOrganicTvShow Thanks very much for your advice reply. But I don’t want to transplant. To a bigger container or onto unraised clay soil. The point of your video, I guess, is that, we can all grow blackberry plants in just grow bags, right? So I suppose the final bag for non-transplanters should be a [final destination] 10 gallon one, would you say??? Thanks, again. 😊🙏
