Default Re: Got my blueberry bushes...

Since that picture, I have added about 1 inch of pine bark pellets all around and a pretty strong dosage of sulfur through the entire barriered area to hopefully drop the PH down to those levels since PH here is slightly alkaline.

I plan on waiting a few days for them to get comfortable in their new home and then start adding some organic fertilizers such as milorganite or any other organic pelleted fertilizers which should not be harmful. I'll probably get some blueberry specific fertilizers once they get a little bigger.
