Great video. Would just add that u don't need soil to grow blueberries, just peat and pine bark chips. Fertilize in beginning of spring and when they are forming berries. Just add more peat and pine bark each year, whether in ground or containers. This has been the easiest way for me.
@jameswagandt8718 2 ай бұрын
On center spacing: if you plant your blueberries every 2.5 feet that does not give 5 feet for each plant. The plant grows 2.5 feet on each side for a total of five. But is adjacent to another plant growing 2.5 feet on each side. Meaning you’re only giving each plant 1.25’ per side for a total of 2.5.
@joshcrocker4596 2 ай бұрын
Agreed. Each plant would need 2½ feet on each side. 2½+2½=5 so each plant needs to be 5 feet apart according to the math
@MalazTorchic 2 ай бұрын
And this compounds into a bigger issue with blueberries as the berries only grow on the ends the bush, so you cannot trim the branches down and still have fruit on those branches
@zprince4120 2 ай бұрын
Exactly 💯
@emeryrowand2903 Ай бұрын
Totally agree- the spacing was not accurate, accept to account for the first and last bush will only reach out 2.5' from center. All the others will also reach out 2.5' each and fill all 5'. Otherwise a nice video. The point about water is very important to remember. If you can't get the bushes enough water, they will never make big full, delicious blueberries!

I sprinkled clover seeds as a cover crop all over my garden before I put the blueberries in and 1 year later, some of the clover is snuggling up next to one of the blueberry plants. That.plant is bigger and healthier looking than it's neighbor plant which doesn't have the clover surrounding it.

You may know this already, so forgive if this is redundant, but white clover is a nitrogen fixing legume. It is likely helping the soil around your plant by bringing nitrogen into the soil, which is pretty cool.

I think you got your math wrong there Luke. If that blueberry plant is going to get 5 feet in diameter, then yes, it needs 2.5' on either side of center. But so does the one in the front of it and the one behind it. If it does grow 5' in diameter, you just put them so close, that when the radius has reached 1.25' on each one, they will already be touching.

Have you seen the university studies which show growing grasses with blueberry bushes helps them thrive and produce better berries? The grasses are natural chelators and can unlock nutrients like iron from the soil without having to acidify it. I've tried it a couple season now in my yard and anecdotally it seems to be working.

It is usually used wrong by homeowners, the heavy nursury and agriculture stuff is meant to stay on top and not be covered by bark or other mulch and maybe even moved every few years. The light homeowner stuff is usless unless doubled or tripled because it allows too much light through and if covered by mulch to block light then enough moisture is trapped to sprout weed seeds on top and the fine roots can get through the fabric. My current home went through the 1990s fabric fad when everyone thought it would magically replace herbicides and manual weeding. It is everywhere that I try to do anything and completely embedded with roots and soil, and does nothing to stop weeds but it does stop compost and worms so the soil under the fabric is completely barren. Oh and that plastic bird netting stuff they use in rolled sod is even worse to deal with than the fabric. (I'm lucky to have a tractor and room to use a field cultivator to scrape it all up into a heap that I can sift out after it composts.)

Question - I'm seeing a lot of weed killer videos where 30% vinegar is used... would spraying the weeds around the blueberries with this be too much acid for the acid loving blueberry plants?
@TheDuckofDoom. 2 ай бұрын
Acetic acid will evaporate, slower than water but it is not persistant, evaporation is why it has a strong smell. It works to kill weeds only by direct contact cell damage so only the sprayed parts are killed. The acetate ion is structurally related to some plant growth regulators, but as far as I know the main herbicide effect is just the acid damage. BTW acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.76 so it will tend to buffer around a pH of 4.7 when diluted in the soil moisture solution. Sulfuric acid on the other hand, which is created by oxidation of sulfur by soil microbes, is a strong acid with a pKa below 1.0; basically it doesn't buffer for any practical purpose and will fully react with any basic minerals.

Some types fruit on 2year old canes and others on 3yr old canes. I would look into that and maybe at some of Luke's videos on raspberries. Hope this helps!

Not exactly, if you have 2 plants, the distance from center to center of each plant will be the diameter (5ft). For example, if Plant A has a 2.5ft radius, and Plant B has a 2.5ft radius, then the plants will need to be 5ft apart (the diameter of the plant) in order to accommodate the growth of both plants.

Also 2x radius gives diameter.. So you should put the diameter of the plant, in between the two plant centers... The 5 feet spacing is correct, since both plants become 2.5 feet in radius, thus 5 feet in diameter.... plz stop spreading false information resulting in stunted growth of plants due to wrong math.
