Thanks.
How about blue spruce needles?
We have blue spruce. Can get pine needles.
Am building another raised bed. Though I could put them in the one by the maple. It doesn’t have full sun as much.
pondering.
Thx thx. I sure love blueberries. Just didn’t realize what I was doing wrong.
Knew about the acid soil but was using acid fertilizer.
The alkaline water must have been a biggy, too.
Is there any healthy way to get the roots to spread out?
It seems like they don’t grow much from the tiny pot form they were originally in.
I would do the raised bed but dig down and loosen the soil deeply and work a lot of peat into it.
Peat is acidic. A deep mulch with spruce needles will help with water retention and with acid.
Some roots can’t penetrate hard pan and you have to help them a bit.
You might enjoy this video too.
I’ve watched it a couple of times. Inspiring.
