🫐 Step-by-Step Guide: Growing Endless Blueberries
Step 1: Choose the Right Variety
- Pick a type that thrives in your climate:
- Highbush – Great for cooler to temperate zones.
- Rabbiteye – Best for warm, southern climates.
- Lowbush – Hardy for cold regions.
- Plant at least two varieties for cross-pollination and bigger harvests.
Step 2: Pick the Perfect Spot
- Blueberries love full sun (6–8 hours daily).
- Soil must be acidic (pH 4.5–5.5) and well-draining.
- Avoid soggy or clay-heavy soil.
Step 3: Prepare the Soil
- Test soil pH before planting.
- Mix in peat moss, pine needles, and compost to improve acidity.
- Raised beds or containers work well if your soil isn’t ideal.
Step 4: Plant Your Blueberries
- Best time: Early spring or late fall.
- Dig holes twice the width of the root ball.
- Space bushes 4–5 ft apart (highbush) or 2–3 ft (lowbush).
- Water thoroughly after planting.
