Planting Actual Blueberry Bushes That Produce Blueberries

We have long wanted blueberry bushes as a form of edible landscaping that will easily provide us with a nutrient dense food. This video is about us planting our first row of blueberry bushes along our new front fence.

Wow actually are those actual blueberry bushes that will actually produce actual berries or are you just actually sure that i actually am not very actual.. ?

@7777dmith7777 There was an actual reason we had to rename the video this way which came as actually quite a surprise to us, by the way. Thank you for your actual question which is more than thousands who think blueberry refers to a different kind of plant altogether had.

We planted a row similar to yours on our front lawn. To make the soil acidic, we add a mixture of turf and leaf mould (I collect oak leaves at the end of autumn and have a special compost bin just for these).

We had some berries on the bushes this year but the chickens ate them. We then went to a pick your own berry farm and picked 22lbs. They had 7 kinds of bushes there and I think the soil in this region is conducive to blueberries.

@Doctorchops Cause this video kicks ass. I like to kick back on a Friday night and just let it all sink in.

also.

blueberries like wet soil with alot of peat moss (spongey, hold moisture) and acidic.

again... you guys are miles ahead of where me and my GF are at... alot of respect.

hopefully you keep us updated on how the blueberries turn out.

good job.

I have been growing berries for about 5 years now. (still a noob)

this year we get our first crop of blackberries and black raspberries.

regarding cross polination.

it all depends on your polinating insects (from what I have heard, I am not a proffesional)

I have been told by many people skilled at this that as much as 20 feet could be too much seperation to encourage cross polination.

good job guys, I like what you did.... my garden is over populated due to a lack of space.

@matthewalanmacdonald Haha, seriously? It's been awhile since I watched this video - can't remember why I did or how I found it...but it has 71,000+ views. That's pretty crazy...I wonder why it's gotten so many hits?

@Doctorchops i just got blueberries that produce PINK berries but yea the title is redundant

@Doctorchops im pretty sure i could make you a fake blueberry bush that doesnt produce blueberrys...
