I've watched a handful of blueberry planting videos in the last couple weeks because I'm getting ready to plant 3 low Bush varieties in Illinois. I have to say you have the most informative and easy to watch video out there! Keep up the great work!

[@nlitenme]

Thanks for simple and easy to follow instructions 🙏🏼

[@andrewp.619]

Southmoon, Misty and Sunshine blue have done well for me in Zone9. I have them growing in old JD whiskey barrels that I cut in half and and old wine barrel. They’ve done great in them. As you mentioned, much easier to control the pH. I just did a light pruning the other day, but I have found that pruning right after harvest has done well for me so I had plenty of time for re-growth before Fall/Winter since that’s where the new berries will be.

[@kfetter9046]

I have Southmoon, Jubilee, and O'Neal growing in large clay pots here in zone 9. They are several years old now, and prolific bloomers.

[@marisolverdejo1733]

Thanks for the easy and helpful explanation of how to take care of blueberries! I love your channel!

[@billytingen3567]

Hey man. I really enjoy your videos. They are very informational and you are quite humorous!! Thanks for sharing.

[@TnOrchidguy]

Thank you, brother, for another good video. Here in Tn, also zone 7, we can grow a variety of different blueberry hybrids. I have had my 15 bushes so long I can't remember most of the names, but 'Tifblue' was one. One thing I did was to plant early, mid-season, and late flowering varieties to have fruit almost all summer and sometimes into September, and to save the crop from any late frosts. and I will be trying that 'Krewer' in a big pot as soon as I can find the plant.

[@SerHuntsReviews]

This video is perfect because I just bought my first blueberry bush! Thanks for your work and content man🤙🏽

Ah absolutely! Glad I could help, thank you for tuning in! 🙏

I’m zone 8b (pac nw) and I have 10 mature bushes that do well! They are not in full sun and I have a ton of mulch on them which I think helps. Great helpful video!

[@katherinecornette5315]

I didn’t know that I need to prune my blueberries. I’ve added 2 new ones in wine barrels in addition to three in the ground. Great video!

Would love to see something on fall vegetable gardening here in the south! I've found your channel so helpful! We're right down the road in York, SC! 🌱💚

[@pablol3206]

Great video, I'm in zone 9 Arizona and love Southmoon, Sunshine blue, Bountiful Blue etc. very high quality video

[@badgermamaw1870]

Good to know about blueberries. I never attempted to grow them, thought they were too difficult.

[@skgreenhouse]

You should give it a try! I think you will do just fine! 🙂

[@caroleminnich8884]

I'm in zone 8b (far Northern CA). My very favorite is Chandler, and next is Toro. Both grow vigorously for me in both containers and in raised beds.

[@anniegueveneux8161]

Hi from Montreal Canada! I have a basic soil so i planted my blueberry in a pot ... in the soil! So, in winter the roots wont have freeze burn, neather to much heat in the summer. The plant is doing well.

[@slimmw.9811]

So cool I stumbled upon this channel. I’ve heard great things about y’all but haven’t ever stopped in. I live in Ellenboro, so a visit may be in the near future.

Ah man that's awesome! You're just right down the road! Stop in and see us some time. 😃

Please do a video on raspberries. I've been wanting to grow them, and they grow wild in Maryland anyway. But, I'd appreciate some good tips.

[@skgreenhouse]

You got it! Thank you for watching!

[@MarcBoutilier]

Great video! Would you have a recommendation on which variety to grow inside of a greenhouse in Montana that is heated in the winter? Thanks for all the help in the videos!

[@lgrillo]

Yep, hubby brought home 2 blueberry shrubs, 1 Bluecrop and 1 Patriot and I’m going to grow them in containers as our soil is not acidic enough for them, so this was helpful. Now, how you gonna get that big old pot down off the table?

[@annagould2830]

Thanks so much for your valuable info! I live in zone? North IdHo

[@travistaylor6110]

Random comment I know, but I realized in this video how great your camera resolution has gotten. Gardens should be given the respect of using a high-resolution camera if you're going to film them. Bravo, sir! 😅

[@alicecowan3499]

I put two in separate largggge pots. They do not seem to be growing. I think I need to check the acidity of my soil! I totally spaced that!!!! Thank you 👍🏼❤️

[@skgreenhouse]

Could make a big difference! :) thanks for watching!

[@beanhan4766]

Update on this plant please ❤

[@nightowl9176]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience. I just planted 3 blueberry bushes, each into 24 gallons containers, 24 inches diameter each. I provided them with special slow release 90% elemental sulfur soil acidifier as per product instructions (300 ml per square meter in order to lower pH from 7 to 4 ). I watered them well and keep them moist. After 7 days I took pH reading for every container and I'm still seeing the result of pH 7, that is pH has not changed a bit. Would you have any suggestions on why that can be and what else I should do. Much appreciated.

Can I put two one gallon size plants in one large pot like whiskey barrel size?

[@MichaelJohnson-ux7pe]

How much do you trust those grow bags are they that good? I have three new 10 gal. grow bags but have never used this type before. And would these 10 gallon bags be ok for seedlings?

[@jon1268]

What do you mean be cross pollinate? Plant multiple varieties? Should we use dwarf varieties for pots?

[@user-cl9ew4ie4g]

I wonder how good they do in Arizona heat im trying to see pink lemonade blueberry

[@JoseReyes-xs3js]

I have blue sharp blueberry variety i wonder if it needs another blue berry plant partner? I live in san diego weather is pretty good here i just learn about acidic soil about 4 months ago so now they will thrive lol know wonder back in the day when i didnt know they need acidic they would always to do good and fruit then the next year they would die . I think im ready now now that im more educated on ph levels .

[@sandiharrison8561]

Can you create a video on blackberries please?

[@msprettyeve]

Hi, i love this video and I'd love to grow blueberries too but I'm in the Philippines, could you please help me with what variety would fit in a sunny and rainy season like my country and where to buy them, please? Thank you in advance💚

[@Sammyj12991]

Where can I get a large Krewer bush like that? I’m also wanting titan and Vernon to companion plant with. I can find starts but I’m wanting bigger. Do you sell them?

[@Spaughshalfacrehomestead]

I live close to you. Where do you get your compost ?

[@beefuzzz8403]

Colorado has alkaline soil and water

[@scottdurrwachter7127]

Where do you get those containers???

[@donaldp9259]

Our 2 blueberry bushes do produce, but they've struggled to thrive since planting 4 years ago here in mid-Michigan. They're still only about 30 inches tall and struggling. Our soil is poor, trouble keeping the ph below 6, poor drainage (solid clay below the 8" deep bed). I'd like to move them to containers like you're showing here. Will the plants survive the move, and when would be the best time to do the transplant? Great video! Thanks.

[@skgreenhouse]

Yes, I believe they'll be just fine. The best time to transplant would be in the fall after they start going dormant or early spring.

[@donaldp9259]

@@skgreenhouse Many thanks!!!! 😁

[@johnbinzhou]

How much soil acidifier did you use for that pot? That is the key info im looking for and you omit it lol.

[@NanaWilson-px9ij]

Use the directions on the bag of soil acidifier.

I would love to grow blueberries but the deer are jumping the fence around my back yard and eating everything. Any suggestions?

Do you need to have drainage holes in the container?

Yes!

[@emylytle7149]

I have blueberries but their in a 10-15 gal size bucket. Can I transplant the two in a 20 gallon size barrel, or just leave it individually in 10 gallon bucket. I have 4 blueberries, thanks for the video👩‍🌾👍😊👍

[@skgreenhouse]

Two would be a little much for a 20 gallon pot. I think they would do better if they had their own seperate space. :)

[@emylytle7149]

So the blueberries bushes cannot be in a one barrel, they need to be separated? Thank you.

[@kathymickle6915]

I have my blueberries in containers and they have done very well. This year has been very different, I believe that they got zap with a freeze. I typically put my pots in my greenhouse for the winter months (zone 5B). Is ok for them to winter outside in the pots?

I’m also in zone 5b.. interested in the answer…

Would container berries not freeze in zone 6, grown in the ground there is no problem in zone 6.

I didn’t know you need to cross pollinate some. Are there male and female? And how do you spot which is which?

[@loisdottavio6328]

I'm from Vineland, New Jersey and we had lots of blueberries growing in the woods near my home. Do you know what variety that woud be ( or just simply "wild"? ) Anyway, I'm living in Italy now in a small town, Scandriglia, near Rome. I've got a nice little woodsy area near home and would love to grow blueberries at the edge. Should they be on the east side or the west? Any other suggestions? Would you like to come and visit?

I bought a blueberry plant 2 weeks ago. And it's dying already, possibly already dead. It flowered, but turned crispy. Idk what happened. Will it grow back?

So I am not a fan of blueberries. I like blueberry muffins. But that's pretty much it. HOWEVER my mother in law took the kids to a farm here (east tx) where u pick ur own. I grabbed a couple just because and popped them in my mouth.. and wow! Yum! So my question is... why were they SO different from store bought or restaurant served blueberries? The type? Or just more naturally grown? I ask every year for the kids to go pick some more lol
