BLUEBERRIES and RASPBERRIES planted

[Forvols]

I got 4 blueberry and 6 raspberry plants in the ground yesterday (beautiful day). Blueberry took the longest, had to work the ground up and also put up a fence(netting) around them if not the deer would have had them tender bushes chewed to the ground this morning. Raspberry area I had been planting stuff there for about 3yrs and it was already fenced with netting. Hopefully they all thrive, also I have 3 apple trees and 2 more blueberries on the way, Stark bros projected shipping is wk of 23 mar.

Good luck with the Stark Bros.
I ordered some and planted last fall and got buds 2 weeks ago.

Also look up adding sulfur to your plants.

I tested the soil in both areas a few weeks ago and started amending the soil. For the Blueberries/raspberries I planted them in good sized holes with amended soil and berry specific fertilizer. I will keep a check on the PH and amend as needed since both like an acidic soil. I also have read you can use white vinegar diluted in gal of water to add a quick acid to the soil. May try it depending on next ph reading but will also stick to long term amending of soil.

What type of blueberries and raspberries are you planting? I may do more in the fall
