Planting Blueberries

[@bigred1mg1]

Always love your videos. Followed your guide for my raspberry pruning and received 50 fruiting canes as a reward. Many thanks to you for sharing your knowledge, From Oregon City

This is what I call an informative video. Excellent job. Thank you!

[@justintan8074]

Thank you David. This is a simple, but informative video.

It really is a spectacular video!

I cant wait to get started. Will the planting time also apply to zone 5b?

[@zorandeban8249]

Excellent video! I have few blueberries in my back yard and I follow recommendations of Mr. Handley regarding pruning, fertilization, mulching.Only important difference is that my blueberries are grown on raised beds elevated some 10 inches (25 cm) above the ground level. The reason for that is clay soil with pH of 7,5.

[@rodwhitlow8431]

Ok, I find problems here. Firstly, that is not a bare root plant. They are both potted and rooted in the soil medium. Also, your soil is sandy. In much of the country we are planting in clay or heavy soils. If the crown is set below the grade - even one -quarter inch, death will usually occur on most plants , other than herbacious stemmed plants like tomatoes. Crown rot is a big problem in many areas, so perhaps you should make note that different soil types require different planting methods. We have to plant high and on mounded areas for plants to thrive.

I actually did have this problem

Best video i have watched so far. 👍

[@TigerIronClock]

Another GREAT video. Thank you!

[@BrianStOnge]

As always, excellent video with great advice.

Hello, Great information here, thanks a lot. I watched this after I planted my row of blueberries. What might be a way to go back and acidify the soil after the root systems have been established? Can I dig in peat to the surrounding areas? What is a good method of aerating? Thanks!!

[@geraldb4201]

looks like ill be picking up a few blueberry bushes this weekend we were thinking about putting out about 6 to 8 of them around the yard

[@miked7655]

i live in blueberry farm central... you never want the crown soaked. it will kill the plant dead fast. blueberries need very good drainage. wet feet ie roots are a killer for these plants.

[@mistresspav]

great video, tks for posting. is using coffee a good way of making the soil more acidic? and if so how much and when/how? many tks in advance

[@BerryboggFarm]

What a great video! Thank you!

[@tomneal72]

the area i intend to plant 2 blueberry vaccinium corymbosum has lots of clay and is near a 6 foot brickwall so if i mixed in the hole some spagnum peat moss and ericaceous compost would that be ok ? and what should the spacing be between the 2 plants at the front , back and sides

[@seanconnathon]

yes

[@chisafin1961]

Great instructional video. Thank you!

[@pattybbb1]

Should the buds be removed the 2nd year also? Thx bunches.

[@HosCreates]

If your soul is acidic because of evergreens can you plant them by the evergreens ?

[@jacelandadventures1523]

This is a good video!👌🏽

[@treypitchford1516]

We have miracle grow soil would that work and could u planet one in a big pot

[@artemytb]

Good video, informative enough. Thanks.

[@antiquenasaamerica5355]

This guy's great!! C Norris lol

[@ffej4895]

Seems that mulch is awfully close. Will that not be a vector for crown rot, or for rodents?

[@ROSTOCKBEL]

Thanks for instructions great video

[@devbachu7072]

Can blueberry grow in tropical countries like the Caribbean thank u

[@angelsgarden3000]

they need a cold chill once a year

[@individual_disk_936]

Legit fascinating.

[@MShenoby]

what if my soil is clay soil?

[@bluegrassdiggers9030]

I have clay and mixed in topsoil and peat moss in about an 6 by 10 foot area and mine are doing great.

[@roccoconte2960]

great job

[@nroger01]

Thx bro

[@t19wsw3g7]

You can plant my blueberries

[@philcaldwell9459]

Planted too deep ! Won't allow sufficient drainage , plants will rot , if bark is used that's fine , but decomposition will become act like soil and tend to rot base of plants !

[@elshadsalimov6501]

👍 nice

[@audiophilesallowed6479]

YIKES.

[@getoutdoors5529]

Does this guy know how to grow blueberries? This technique increases the chances of root rot... smh
