Orson,
"Thanks" ... this sounds useful ...
I'm an aerospace engineer who's discovered Gardening, to include blueberries ... while not battling E-RINOs like "McRomney" down here in Florida (LOL) ...
Soil PH is critical ... someone advised me to mix-place "pine bark nuggets" in the soil to keep the acidity high ...
Have you ever used "Earthboxes" ?
They are INCREDIBLE ...
If they work for me (I have 15 now) ... they can work for anyone !
Best Regards,
Patton-at-Bastogne

I know that the best place to look for wild blueberries is in an area that has been burned over. I would have guessed that blueberries liked high pH because wood ash would tend to alkalize the soil.

Pine needles are also good for maintaining a low ph soil.
