Blueberries need great drainage and acidic soil
Gwen in Middleburg writes: “I want to plant some blueberry bushes. We’ve been very successful with a small garden of raised beds, but plan to put the bushes right in the ground. The area is low and tends to be damp. We would like to use the soil mix that we used for the raised beds — composed of 1/3 sand, 1/3 compost, and 1/3 topsoil — to amend the soil for the bushes.”
