Straight peat moss works great. At one point I had 55 blueberry bushes in pots with just peat moss. I did fertilize them with a fertilizer for blueberries.
500,000 subscribers! Congratulations to both of you!!! So happy you are rewarded for your hard work. Remember the very first video I watched, you were making a wheat wreath... Have seen all your videos since then. Thank you very much for all the inspiration.
Hello, For acidity I just put an inch diameter of Alum in the soil below the drip. I do this once a month. It works like a charm. I use it in flowering plants like rose and citrus who need acidic soil. It's a very cheap alternative. Alum in my country is like 10-12 cents a kg :D
Thank you so much Laura! I was searching everywhere for this video on how to apply the soil acidifier to berries. I grow sunshine blue blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries down here in Central Florida and just got the soil acidifier from home depot. I can't wait to see how it works. My plants are a few years old and starting to get big, so I figured it was time to freshen the soil and add some rich nutrients in with it. Thanks again! It's always so great to see you! 🌱🐞
I just can’t stop looking at the hanging baskets behind you. So pretty! 😍😍 Can’t wait for more spring planting & projects videos. Congrats on having 500k subs 🎉
Unless they are dwarf varieties, two in one pot is crowded. The varieties you planted get to be 6' wide and tall. You did say the growth was less in a pot. Blueberries can live 50 years. The patriot blueberry gets huge berries! They're northern highbush. I know this because I was researching blueberries for where I live, which requires southern highbush. I really enjoy your videos, but you're costing me a small fortune! I'm going to try that jug sowing that you had a video about!
I was just looking at terra-cotta pots and l❤️ the big size. Moving it will be exciting!! 💪🏽 I will strengthen the muscles! Blueberries in pots are an excellent idea. 🌳
CONGRATS to you and Aaron on your 500k subscribers! I always enjoy watching your videos whether its of interest or not. You provide so much info and I really appreciate your hard work and dedication in keeping us in the garden-know-how!
I planted two of them in my garden last year. One got rotten and one flourished. Now I'll buy different kind so they both will produce better results. Thanks for the great informative video.
Hi Laura and Aaron! I don't have blueberries, not yet anyway, but will share with my son-in-law. He is struggling with his blueberries. Thank you for sharing!
Wow I just planted by blueberries in a pot yesterday this is good advice. I hope mine will survive I did not put holly or acidic soil. Thanks Laura for this video.
You can still add those things! I just wouldn’t add quite as much and try to work it down into the soil as much as possible without upsetting your plants.
Thank you for another crop how-to. This blueberry plant has been on my list for awhile but kept pushing it back because of the soil requirements. I think I'm confident now that I can do this!!! 😍
This is very timely as I have blueberries in 2 gallon pots from last year & was looking to transplant to larger containers. Mine bloom early & then a month later. A 22 in is probably not quite big enough for both together at this point, but will make sure to keep them close to each other. They are leafing out & getting buds now. Western WA weather is definitely different than yours so mine love as much sun as possible.
Thank you for this video! My family are having trouble with our blueberry plant, 3rd year and they haven't produced! I will definitely be showing them this video! Thank you lots and keep up the good work!
Congrats! Half a million🥳🥳what an achievement! Its no surprise given your talent, on screen presence, Aaron’s behind the scene magic and the sweetness Benjamin and Russell add🌿💕🌵💚
Congrats on 501k Subs Don't forget if your Blue Berries flower while still indoors dont forget to let the Bumble Bees in to pollinate them or the blossoms will just drop off and no fruits will form. The natural places to find Blue Berries is in Pine Forests so you are 100% correct about the sun requirements.
Have you shown an update on your blueberries yet? It’s getting to that time for the garden centers to have them and don’t want to go overboard on cost if I don’t have to. If you did an update in your question and answer videos could you please add that to your resource list? Please please please. I also found bird netting at the DollarTree. Thank you for all you do to educate and allowing us to come along on your family’s journey. Happy Spring!
Congratulations on 500,000 subscribers!! I love watching and hearing you! Love seeing Benjamin and Russell. You inspired me to plant a garden. After watching you plant tulips on a raised bed, I planted tulips in a container and I am in love with them. THANKS FOR YOUR DEDICATION. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION🌸🌹🌻🌺🌷🌷🌷
@@gardenanswer , Laura, we're congratulating you guys on hitting the 500,000 mark just YESTERDAY and today, you nearly have a THOUSAND MORE. Woot!~ (500,907!)
I have one bluberry plant in a half barrel, I have it by my garage where I have bee balm, fuschia and other pollinated and I get loads of blueberry every year. This will the third season and it doing great.
I'm having to yank my Duke Blueberry out and start a new mix with Sphagnum Peat moss and Pine Bark Mini Nuggets, the acidity will not be leached out by rain, I will add garden soil and perlite to get better drainage but I will see if the Duke cheers up since the soil amendment via soil acidifiers are not working.
I have some giant terra cotta pots like that. The only bummer is that if you leave them outside for the winter (at least here), they may eventually break. The big rolled edge broke completely off of one of mine this year. I was *very* sad. I think you are supposed to empty them of all the soil and turn upside-down for the winter and maybe cover them with burlap or something. Since mine are filled with perennials, I was never planning to empty mine. I am planning to switch to fiberglass pots as budget allows.
Wow congratulations on 500K subscribers!!! Great coffee with Laura video and I was just looking at our blueberries in the work garden thinking they needed something and now I know where to start as well as what to do if we get more plants!!!
I am SO HAPPY you got some blueberries!! I've been hoping you'd do a video about them; If mine are in the ground (Boise) when and how often should I add sulphur or something acidic? I love all your tips and tricks. I'm close to you so everything applies and we have the same taste in flowers so you're covering almost all my plants!! Maybe Bearded Iris one day? Thanks for being awesome.
Could you guys show us more ideas for growing fruit in small spaces? Maybe what works to plant in a raised bed to get the most fruit bang for your buck?
Really helpful, you know I have been struggling with finding acid soil mix in my area, and just couldn't get the recipe which works. I use this recipe which I found somewhere on the internet and is 50% peat moss and 50% compost or soil, the result is 50:50, I guess I could use your recipe but in my case I want to grow it in the ground not in pots. Thanks Visar from Kosovo
22 gallon..wow. I thought my 7 gallon was big. Gypsum and sulphur. Gypsum and sulphur. Good video. Should blueberries leaves turn red in the winter? Blueberries require a ton of water too. One inch a week minimum. Field capacity is best
Garden Answer this is the second time you replied to one of my comments and can I tell you how much that meant to me! It’s kind of silly isn’t it! I so love the joy your videos bring to my day! Not to mention the inspiration. I have 3 “hay racks” because of you! And so much more!
My blueberry plant is in a clay pot and has been happy for years in there, and lots of fruit! he's huge now so I need to transplant him. This video was very helpful for transplanting because I don't know what kind of soil to really use, I just guessed.Can you do a raspberry video? I just got a raspberry plant, would love some raspberry tips!
No one has the azalea, camelia and rhododendron potting soil here, so thank you so much for providing a recipe. It's been a real headache trying to figure out what the blueberries I just bought need.
Thanks for sharing . Well this work for a blackberries as well it grow pretty ok outside in the grardening I would like more fruit and this is the first full year out there. thanks
Tameka Hill ~Raspberries, Blackberries, honey berries, and several others all require acidic soil. Learned this from my grandmother who grew up on a farm and has always grown the best berries.
@@morgenoghmanann8746 Thanks love it as so many buds on it already I haven't put the soil down I have been composting in place a little bit right beside few times during the winter.
Hi Laura I bought 1 blueberry plant from Stark Brothers it said it was a self pollinating plant I did not know it was OK to plant 2 plants in pot 🤔 SO should I buy a second plant?? I have a 20” pot I’m using. Also wanted to ask you QUESTION what do I use if PH level drops to low?????? Please let me know if you can. That would be great. Thank you always
Did you test your soil? To raise the PH in the soil apply a material that contains some form of lime. Lime/Limestone is used because it contains calcium, magnesium, or both, which are both alkaline components. If you have a wood burning stove take the wood ash and sprinkle around your plant. (Free method) or you can purchase Dolemite Lime pretty inexpensive. Most gardening centers have it. Love from Seattle ❤️
Congratulations on 500k subscribers! Love your channel and my plants, flowers and shrubs do too. I’ve seen a tremendous difference in my plants since I’ve learn how to fertilize and care for them correctly. I’m always sharing your videos with my clients and friends that ask me about my little garden.
Do you do anything to assist with drainage? I just got my first blueberry plants this year after learning they could grow in a container. I read pine bark works on the bottom layer and also as mulch because it's acidic. I've been adding coffee grounds weekly.
Thanks for all the great information. I know what I have been doing wrong with my blueberries! You sure have a lot of gardening issues in your area! Continued success on You Tube and beyond. 😎🌹🦋
When we have alkaline soil 😔! I feel you Laura, I live in essentially the same climate and soil type as you, cold winters and super hot summers with alkaline soil, #texas
Congrats 500k!! I am always excited to watch a new video of yours! You inspire me. Here in MN we are getting an early spring snow storm today. Cant wait to get out in my garden!!
Congratulations on hitting 500,000 subscribers! You guys certainly deserve it. 🙂 I love blueberries, I think that's going on my bucket list. All your plants in the background are lovely. 🌹
Great idea thank you for sharing with us can you tell me what is the best hanging flowers and flowers to be planted in the ground are best for hummingbirds to come around ( TIA )
A/o 6/2/20, I can't find "planting/potting mix for acidic plants" that doesn't have Bat Guano in it anymore, and I don't want that in my planting mix, because of the diseases associated with it, (Sars, Ebola, Marburg, Histoplasmosis, and maybe COVID-19?), so I am thinking about trying your recipe for Planting Mix for Acidic Soil for planting my blueberries. Would you please tell me how the Espoma Potting Mix, HollyTone, and Soil Acidifier worked for you? Thanks!
In my garden I never use nets over anything because I always plant enough fruit trees and berries for me and the birds. I let my trees grow high and the birds eat the fruit I cant reach. I like to give back to nature because nature has given us so much. And with that Ive never gone without fruit or berries but the opposite. The more you give the more you receive.
I'm trying to grow blueberries from seeds of grocery store variety blueberries. I've already frozen them in the freezer for several months. I'm trying to figure out what to do next.
500K Congratulations! Your videos are fantastic. The baskets hanging behind you are beautiful. I planted out my two pots of blueberries last week. I live in Chicago, zone 6a. I added blueberry food that I purchased with the blueberries. I don't have a greenhouse. Would you suggest I cover them with anything? I have row cover or 6 mil plastic. What would you suggest? Thanks, Francine
@gardenanswer, Do you have to wait for the acidification process to happen before planting the blueberries in the new pot, or can you do it all at once?
Congrats on 500k! Hello from Killarney, south west Ireland. I have watched all your videos since I found you - most of them more than once. I just love listening to you and I learn new techniques all the time. Not sure if you used the phrase ‘breaking the root memory’ quite sometime ago. I would not have dreamt of playing with the roots but now I smile and think of Laura. I have been trying to grow all kinds of plants in containers -bulbs do very well, but the dreaded vine weevil really loves heuchera and no plant is really safe. I need help preparing a border, so fingers crossed.Rambling on, my first ever comment, so please forgive me. I enjoy reading comments from others. You both have built a super gardening community, great credit due to you. Thank you for sharing Benjamin with us, he is so cute. Lots of love Sile.
thanks for the video was great, I am in zone 9 so it gets really hot and humid, high 90s with at least 70% humidity any suggestions on keeping these plants from scorching
I found this information on blueberries so helpful! I have been waiting for three years for a berry from ours. I have a question, Laura will you add into the pot anything through the growing season or do you feel this is enough for the year?
Looking for great annuals & vegetables for your gardens? Check your local high school. Many have an FFA (Future Farmers of America) and will be having plant sales to support their activities. I'm going to to one on Saturday 🌷🌺🌼🌻
Please do an update on this video. I'd really like to see how many berries you harvest. Congrats on a half million subs.
Straight peat moss works great. At one point I had 55 blueberry bushes in pots with just peat moss. I did fertilize them with a fertilizer for blueberries.
Really ???
Now I know why I only got one good year out of my one blueberry plant. I like your way.
Recipe! =)
2 cups Holly Tone
1/2 cup soil Acidifier
1 bag of normal potting soil
Bird netting
Thank you Laura! 💕🌱

It will work folks. I used regular potting mix and the plants were OK for a while but are now yellow.
Just planted Blueberries, thank you for all the great information
I love the idea of blueberries in pots
Is there a follow video to this video on planting blueberries in containers?
My husband and I love you , such an inspiration and wealth of knowledge!!

Because blueberries like really well draining soil, it’s best to mix: soil with peat and mini pine bark nuggets.

Hi Laura
I bought 1 blueberry plant from Stark Brothers it said it was a self pollinating plant I did not know it was OK to plant 2 plants in pot 🤔 SO should I buy a second plant?? I have a 20” pot I’m using.
Also wanted to ask you QUESTION what do I use if PH level drops to low??????
Please let me know if you can. That would be great.
Thank you always
Did you test your soil?
To raise the PH in the soil apply a material that contains some form of lime.
Lime/Limestone is used because it contains calcium, magnesium, or both, which are both alkaline components. If you have a wood burning stove take the wood ash and sprinkle around your plant. (Free method) or you can purchase Dolemite Lime pretty inexpensive. Most gardening centers have it.

How was your blueberry harvest last year using your soil recipe with Espoma holly tone?
Can you give us an update on how your blueberries did and was the soil acid enough for them?
I found this information on blueberries so helpful! I have been waiting for three years for a berry from ours. I have a question, Laura will you add into the pot anything through the growing season or do you feel this is enough for the year?
Same question. As well as what do you add the following season?
Looking for great annuals & vegetables for your gardens? Check your local high school. Many have an FFA (Future Farmers of America) and will be having plant sales to support their activities. I'm going to to one on Saturday 🌷🌺🌼🌻
