Blueberry Remix

After picking blueberries and getting some useful advice about rehabbing our own berries, Andy and I decided to get to work when I got home. We were told that ideally our soil's pH should be at a 4, and if it reaches a 6 it can be brought down to a more acidic pH. However, if it reaches a 7, we are outta luck and should start over. Our berries haven't done well after the initial transplant. It had berries while in the pot, but once it was planted in the ground it lost momentum. We tested our pH and what do you know? A 7! Off to the nursery we went. We opted for a 50% sphagnum moss, 25% original soil, 25% finished compost mixture plus a dash of this, that, and love. The plants are looking healthy and great, but it's only been a week or so. We'll get a better picture of our hard work in a few weeks. We'll continue to test and attempt to lower our level if we start to elevate. Hopefully, we can control it and eat our own berries next season. Fingers crossed!
