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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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
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 !

This guy's great!! C Norris lol
Legit fascinating.
I cant wait to get started. Will the planting time also apply to zone 5b?
Thanks for instructions great video
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
Should the buds be removed the 2nd year also? Thx bunches.

yes
We have miracle grow soil would that work and could u planet one in a big pot
Thx bro
👍 nice
If your soul is acidic because of evergreens can you plant them by the evergreens ?
Can blueberry grow in tropical countries like the Caribbean thank u
they need a cold chill once a year
Seems that mulch is awfully close. Will that not be a vector for crown rot, or for rodents?
You can plant my blueberries
YIKES.
what if my soil is clay soil?
I have clay and mixed in topsoil and peat moss in about an 6 by 10 foot area and mine are doing great.

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