For those beginners who want to grow *blueberries* in buckets:

01. Bucket 55l (15 gallon)
02. Soil from a pine forest
03. Mix the soil with pine twigs and pine bark
04. Pine bark mulch

Purchased soil is dead soil. No doubt.
Purchased fertilizer is not as good as slowly decaying pine twigs with pine bark. They gradually give the blueberries nutrients. If you really want to take care of the blueberry, it is a good idea to let pieces of pine bark stand in water for several weeks. As soon as the water "rusts", it also has a low ph, then water them. If you have blueberries in black buckets, they will heat up a lot in the sun and the roots will suffer. Either use white buckets or simply paint the black ones white or wrap them in paper or aluminum foil. One last piece of advice: the more varieties of blueberries, the more fruit you will have.

*Failure is not possible with this procedure*

Damn, you weren't kidding when you said this video was packed with information. This one's definitely going in the watch later playlist for next spring. Thanks!

[drileydriley]

This is not only the best blueberry video on the internet, this is one of the BEST videos - regardless of topic - on the internet... period. Informative, well-researched, VERY informative (with educated sources), and it was considerably grammatically correct! (I.e., "shovels full" ...THANK YOU for that!) VERY GOOD VIDEO! WELL DONE! BRAVO!

I'm in california and I have had 2 blueberry plants for 5+ years. my tips 1. grow in pots not in ground. 2. use at least 50% Peat moss soil (they need the PH peat provides). 3. I fertilize once a month spring- summer with miracle grow shake n feed. They have been super easy to grow! The real trick is to use Pots and Peat moss.

[HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

That was incredible! Not only do you have knowledge but you are great at teaching and conveying that knowledge. Video editing is top notch. Thanks for sharing.

[danielle]

Really convenient timing that I came across this. We are working on our blueberry bed now

[DaellusKnights]

08:14 - the chart is what I really needed. I know nothing about blueberries except how to cook and bake with them... 🤣 For the first time in the past few years I managed to grab a pot from the local market before everyone bought them out ahead of me 😁 "Sunshine blue" is what I'm working with 😻

[JerseyShoreJim]

Your videos are AMAZING. I learned more about why I have never had success growing them here in NJ, in your first 4 minutes, than in years of “experimenting myself. Your videos must take many hours of prep, and they are probably the best I’ve seen on YouTube.
MANY THANKS and continued success.

I live in zone 7B Piedmont triad region of North Carolina, and I have 4 rabbiteye blueberry bushes. I live in the country where it gets colder than the city at night. I promise you rabbiteye variety blueberry flowers can take a frost easily. My blueberry bushes survived a few nights in the mid-twenties in bloom. I lost all of my plums and pears, but I had more blueberries than I knew what to do with. My Wife and I probably harvested about 80 lb worth of blueberries.

[YamatoTre]

Just got three plants, so glad to have a passionately made video like this. Thanks!

[maurastp]

Best blueberry video on the Tube!!! Bravo 👏 👏 👏 Answered so many questions i had from last season's grow.

[mariolawinte]

I believe that it is the first time I watch that descriptive and thorough video re: growing blueberries. Thank you so much.

[tomholmes]

This video is the most complete ‘blueberry related’ video I’ve seen! I’ve saved it for future reference. Ps-you could be a college professor your video is so complete and in-depth. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to finally dedicate part of my yard to blueberries!

[theloosemoose]

Im in zone 9b and have a big self fertile blueberry bush that flowers in March and is just now ripening in the end of april/early may .. the berries are big and amazing sweetness...

[GutenGardening]

This will be INVALUABLE! We have been struggling to get a good blueberry crop.
Thanks for sharing!

[MrTripplaw]

May I say your videos are among the best on YouTube. Ways you can improve.
Show more love to those of us in Los Angeles or Southern California because there are 20 million of us that are avid gardeners and I for one feel neglected. I believe I’m in zone 10 B with six backyard raise beds growing mostly vegetables. I have two blueberry plants that I bought from my local nursery of different varieties that never get more than 2 feet tall and since I put them in the ground they’re not bearing fruit. I did take a big hole and mix in blueberry potting soil and plants produced a couple of blueberries last year and none this year. Thank you for Sharing your vast knowledge of planting
