Thank you! Will be moving 3 "blurr-berry" 😁plants from containers to in ground this spring. This helps a lot! A nice Bonus!!
Great plants!
Perfect timing for this video. I just got mine at Costco and will be planting them in my grow bags that are 50 gallon.
That works. Blueberries are great.
Can’t wait for the blueberry in a pot video! I just received my plants from groworganic. 2 northern hb, 2 southern and I planted them in barrels 2 plants each. I used some berry tone that I mixed with a regular potting soil in the hole and top dressed with soil acidifier since I couldn’t find bagged soil for acid-loving plants. How often should I put soil acidifier around the plants in the barrels? I’ve never grown blueberries before. Thanks Gary!
I just add acidic water soluble 2x a year. Fall and Spring. The peat in containers should be enough in-between.

I’ve just the one blueberry plant in my small backyard, hopefully the frost last year didn’t damage it.
Good luck!

Love it ⚡ when found a bunch of cheap blueberry plants, I went on a blueberry research thing on youtube and found some interesting University webinars and stuff (I cant recall what University but it did come up as one of the top search results). And they pretty much say what you say here! One thing that kind of differed was that the ph isnt the issue but instead creating a "reductive environment" (basically has less nutrients and life). And a peat moss *is* reductive! The same goes for fertilizing: they use things like diluted Apple cider vinegar and yoghurt. Sounds weird but natural in the reductive context 👍 also, Citric acid was really good which is nice since I guess most animals dislike that smell? Really interesting plants ✨
Very interesting. This set up is pretty much how I do it at planting. I added my fertilizing video and it is pretty straight forward. You definitely dont have to over feed them.

My native soil's pH ranges between 7.5-8. I've given up on blueberries and grow serviceberries instead.
That is high.

I have a pink blueberry bush she's about a 6 year root now and she's been in a huge bin next to my deck doing at most excellent there- already budding all over as usual this year. Last year the Asian beetles decided to stay longer than I've ever experienced before and what did they go after? My blueberry bush! Id go out every single morning and use a milking net to swoop them up and then I have a neighbor in the afternoon come by and swoop then I do at night. Swoop action seems to be better option to save the berries. I cannot believe the damage they still do there's that many flocking to my property! More going just after my bush. I'll be selling my house and relocating hence why the bush is in the container all this time- covid pretty much held things back but for now I'm here yet another summer it's looking like. I've never seen Asian beetles this bad ever before. They were swarming me they were that bad last year. They just never left it seemed. Concerning. Have you figured a way to deter them or anything else to keep them at least off one spot like they are going after my blueberry bush? The damage is pretty bad when beforehand this bush does amazing right here- full sun most of the day they do excellent! 😊
Wow. You can buy agfabric to put over it. It will keep the them off just FYI. Good luck.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN at 2:37, you say that your pH is “..higher here. More alkaline, almost a 7”. A pH of 7 is literally a neutral pH, not alkaline at all. Would have been more accurate if you had, “the soil here is less acidic, almost a 7.” Great video, though. I'm looking at moving the blueberries that I have in 5gal pails to under our backyard pine tree to help solve soil acidity problems almost right away; just need to clean all the other wood waste from under the tree.
Higher for plant growth. 6-7 is a general growing range. 5 gallons works. I am doing my container video with larger containers but smaller works.

Hello, what do you think about the barefoot blueberries variety they sell at the local Home Depot ?? I want to buy some berries but not sure about the ones at home depot or Lowe’s. Please advise
I have grown them before. These came from Costco and it was 2 plants for $20. I recommend them.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you for responding to my question and thank you for all that you do to teach us.
When I get a "bare root" fruit tree from Stark Brothers, there is nothing around the roots but a dozen or so wet newspaper ribbons. The roots are almost completely exposed. Of course the tree is sealed in a plastic bag and is shipped in a strudy box.
Yeah often they just keep them moist.

You must spend a lot of hours picking blueberries in June and July! I get a lot every year with just 5 plants.
I really do and have to call friends in to take some.

I have sandy soil idk if it’s acidic. My tomatoes go bonkers though.
If stuff is growing, start there. The pH is great to add now but later you could use acidic water soluble 2x a year to help manage the acidity.

Can you use white vinegar to the water ? To make it acidic.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that would be a good idea. Liquid fertilizers (in this case vinegar) are absorbed very quickly, this might end up actually hurting and possibly killing your plant.
I would recommend getting a slow release fertilizer specifically made for acid loving plants.🌱
Agree. Home Depot or Lowe’s Carrie’s a small bag that says soil acidifier ( has a pic of hydrangeas on it), that’s what I use every spring along with fertilizer. For fertilizer I use a small bag called berrytone. I did a little trench around plant about 6 inches out and add that stuff to it and cover back up with soil, pat down then water.
I have done it for a quick fix and my Blueberries loved it. The mix I used was about a 1/8 to 1/4 of a cup of vinegar to 4 cups of water. A reminder that white vinegar is 5% acetic acid by volume (pickling and cleaning vinegar is higher percentage), so if you are further diluting it with water the pH will become higher (less acidic). Like Gary said in the video you don't want to do it everyday.
Also, use rainwater.. Rainwater is more acidic (not sayign acid rain) than tap water.
I have a video on that so yes. But it has to be cut amounts.
