Great video. I love your channel. Just a note on acidifying fertilizers... I recently came across a fix for alkaline soil. In Calgary my soil has a ph of 7 to 8 with heavy clay and too short a growing season for elemental sulfur to be very effective. Ammonium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and epsom salt have turned everything around. Finally winning after years of losing. See "Great Tips on Fertilizing Blueberries For Improving Yields" by Get Growing with Gary Heilig for amounts and organic options. Thanks, Jeff!

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 месяца назад

@@MsJoeg that's perfect! Well done on finding the solution for your specific area. The faster dissolving applications would indeed work way better in that situation.

Blueberries have perfect flowers, so they can self pollinate… but they’re not very good at it 😂😂😂 I kinda knew all that, but the way you led into it was kinda funny ❤ As far starting/replacing blueberry plants, would you say buying a plant from local nursery or starting from seed would be best?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 месяца назад

Ha ha thanks Mcgritty! I'm normally all about the DIY and taking the long route, but when dealing with hybrids and the length of time to get an adult plant, I'd always either buy my blueberry plants or take cuttings in the spring to expand my current crops. Seeds just takes sooooo long! 🙂

@joemccall8991 2 месяца назад

Great video Jeff! You mentioned not bringing your blueberries in for the winter but I've been doing that with our 15gal grow bagged plants. Do you bring your growbags into a warmer area or just leave them out? Do you lose any due to sub-freezing temps?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 месяца назад

@@joemccall8991 thanks Joe. Blueberries can take down to 10F (-12C) with no issues. They need a true winter to get those big berry harvests!

@dasshape00 2 месяца назад

Back in June we had a 2 week hot zone.. above 90 and I was out of town. When I left I had like 50 blueberries and when I got back they had all fell off and plant looked half dead.. plant is looking good now.. but no berries ever came back. Maybe next year

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 месяца назад

Been there so many times. Its that tiny window of time when the berries are 1/2 size and green......moisture is just mission critical at that stage. At least the plants are still good to go, so not a total loss! :-)

@socloseagain4298 2 месяца назад

Hey dude I'm wondering if u have seen Paul Gauschi's (Back to Eden) talks about blueberries and everything overall. He says that in neutral pH (7.0) everybody is happy and thrives 🤔

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 месяца назад

I have watched his stuff, love it. However, I've never seen anyone say that Blueberries love a neutral pH. This includes the three major blueberry farms in Saanich and Delta that I've visited. They all acidify their soil and for these guys, its their livelihood! I have seen blueberry plants thrive in higher pH's, for sure.....but not what I would call "max harvest". :-)

Blueberry plants can be planted in any season except winter. They are a perennial plant. Summer and fall planted bushes likely won't produce until the following year.
