I put on 3 tbsp of 10-10-10 today. Getting a lot of rain 🌧 tonight. Will put soluble fertilizer when I have some days with no rain and water 🚿 in..... yep, I need to spray fungicide as well. Just starting buds in zone 7b. Little Rock area!!
Sounds great!
I ordered 5 Triple Crown blackberry plants last summer and potted them up to 3-gallon pots. I am awaiting my order of 5 Earth Boxes to plant them in. Actually today I just ordered 3 more plants from Bob Wells Nursery, so I’ll need 3 more Earth Boxes! Thank you so much for all the great tutorials. I will order my fertilizer and what else I can through your affiliate links.
I think you will love the Earthboxes. And, thanks for supporting my channel 😊
I just planted 5 Ponca blackberry plants today. I plan to fertilize those and all my other Freedom and Chacta (sp) tomorrow and what do I see on CZcams, you talking about just that. Thanks for the helpful hints. This will help me do it right. Thanks for being there. God bless you and your wife.
Glad to help
If you are planting in containers, this video shows you how I fertilize new plants:

Thank you, Alan! I've been working on my beds! You are the best!
You're so welcome!
Always appreciate your content, excited to see how our vines do on our first floricane crop.
I bet you can't wait! 👍😎
It's so cool when you harvest, those flipping things are like 1.5 inches. good munching berries! I can forage for wild raspberry's around and in ditch late summer. seeds get in-between my teeth.
You got that right!
🔥🔥 Greetings from Arizona zone 9b. thanks for the reminder, just in time. Almost all of Our prime-Arks and 9 other varieties of blackberries and raspberries are just starting to bud out. they are all 1 year old plugs and we are hoping for their first crop this summer. you have inspired us. Cheers 🍷
This should be the year for some BERRIES!! 👍😎
Thanks for the video. Enjoy watching your videos as you explain very well and have taught me a lot. I live in south Louisiana and my berries have flowered and are loaded with berries. The new canes are starting to emerge in the pots. We have been very warm down here, I think we will get up to 85 today, so everything is starting to grow very well. I just hope we don't get hit with a late frost and mess it all up. Keep up the good work on the videos, truly enjoy them.
A frost shouldn't hurt them much
But a hard, hard freeze will...
If you can't find 10-20-10, you can take 10-10-10 and add some triple-super-phosphate to make a 10-20-10 blend. Triple super phosphate (TSP) is 0-46-0, so if you take a pound of 10-10-10, you add 22% or 3.5 ounces of TSP to the pound of 10-10-10 to get a rough 10-20-10 blend. Mix them well in a container so you get even distribution of the TSP in the 10-10-10 and apply like 10-20-10. Both 10-10-10 and TSP are easy to find if you can't get 10-20-10 locally.
Yes sir. I was going to do a video on that
I didn't have the math % of the Phos figured out... so thanks for that!!
I ordered some Super Phos a couple of days ago so look for the video soon
I’ve asked many times where you get the 10-20-10 just doesn’t exist
@Tracey The 10-20-10 I get is not water soluble. It's a granular fertilizer.
I get it at my local feed store.
I will try to make a video next week showing how to MAKE 10-20-10 out of 10-10-10 fertilizer.
If not next week... the week after
Can you please tell me if it’s possible for me to get 20:20:20 ratio with fish amino acid fertiliser, bone meal and cow manure compost. I have lots of these and don’t want to waste it and buy 20-20-20 from the store again. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
@@lalithaganesan3372 I don't know any way to do the calculations for your formula. Math was NOT my best subject.
Organic fertilizer will usually not burn plants so you should be safe if you experiment.
Just try your best guess as to amounts
Just gave a helping of granular fertilizer to our Brazos blackberries and raspberries a day ago, will have to give them a shot of that triple 20 when this rain passes today and see what happens.
Good idea
Stay safe!

The blue 20-20-20 from hoss is miracle grow. Travis said so in a round about way during a row by row show. Not trying to throw hoss under the bus because I certainly love them.
MG is a completely different formula (NPK ratio)
They might be made by the same company... don't know
Sure looks the same :)
Do check your lowes found some MG tomato fertilizer same ratio for $2.48 for 4 pounds gonna apply this on my travelers just now breaking here in 8b south Georgia.
@@hardstylzz5024 THANKS!
Water soulable?
Looked at lowes and don’t see anything with 20-20-20
Thursday is bringing in some severe weather, stay safe.
You bet.
Gonna be stormy for sure :(
Also, do you have a video with a recipe for the potting mix for blackberries? I’ll be planting mint in the Earth Boxes next week. Thank you.
Any good potting mix will work. But it has to be about 50% PEAT… Or more. EarthBoxes need a lot of PEAT in the mix so it will “wick” the water up. So, be sure and look at the PEAT percentage in whatever mix you are considering.
Tricky getting them to root off cuttings in the Autumn.. Spring they seem to be able to root better.. Growth Cycle helps I guess.. Using 2L cut at top label works for nice mini greenhouse..
Thanks for the great tip!
I’ll be headed over to circle c on Monday to get my fertilizers.
Woohoo
Tell Steve I sent you! 👍😎
Call first to make sure they have it
Sometimes they run out
I look forward to trying this :-) We got some Prime Ark Freedom berries last year. Our puppy decided they were her personal chew toys *sigh* I have been debating if I should build a little fence and raised bed around them or move them to a container. ... At least now I have an idea how to fertilize them. For our other blackberries I have been throwing down a handful of 8-10-8 about this time of year and sprinkling some random miracle grow from my shed in the summer.
The 8-10-8 would do just fine I think
I got a few varieties a couple of years ago and the Prime Ark Freedom absolutely won over all the other ones. I'm just north of College Station and they love it here! The good think about having them straight in the ground is that the roots will go out 5-10 feet and start popping out new blackberry bushes. Just scoop them out and plant next season, free Blackberry bushes yay! Good luck with your berries!!!
@@4g4m3n0n Thanks!
I haven't gotten any blooms yet the canes aren't near as tall as yours but yours are older plants than mine, I have not fertilized mine yet I son't think, the only balanced fertilizer I have is 13 13 13, I do have plenty 10 20 10 but my plants are in 5 gallon buckets because I have not found any larger yet unless I go to Home Depot and , I really don't feel like paying that much for containers, they don't have anything like the supplement tubs size wise anyway. My plants are having to come back from the roots. Thanks
Understood... you'll be fine even if it's not the ideal situation
I have one that is already blooming , one that is leafed out and 3 that are not leafed out yet
I have sum 13-13-13 … and sum calcium nitrate water soluable from hoss and sum master blend … which one should I use?
They are all in wicking tubs like yours are
Depends on the NPK ratio of the Master Blend
If it's high in the middle number, I would use it
If not, I'd just use the 13-13-13
The Calcium Nitrate (i think) is just nitrogen.
The berries need some Phosphorus
Save the C Nitrate for corn...
Hope that helps, Tambra
Si ce I live somewhat near you, where did you get the fertilizer from?
He said he got it from Hoss tools. It's mail order.
The 20-20-20 is from Hoss Tools (Associate link below the video)
The 10-20-10 is from Circle C farm supply in Bullard
Hope that helps
Where can you get some of these wicking tubs? Love your channel. Thanks for sharing the information.
He shows lots of videos on how to make them. He uses mineral tubs from cattle producers.

@@BIGALTX Thank you!
I get my supply at Kingston garden center in Kingston OKLahoma. Can get new or used
Do you think we are out of the risk of a freeze? I'm wanting to bring out my citrus trees? I'll be using a compost tea on my blackberries following your lead.
I'm still worried. I'm watching the weather close. The weather has been very strange the last 3 years!
I hope so
We may get a frost, but I don't think we'll get a hard, hard freeze... but who knows :)
Have tried tubes , I'm in NE TEXAS, and I think that they get too hot, for root crops anyway, like from the heat...have you had that problem?
I don't think so... but last year was so hot for so long that my production was terrible
So... maybe the tubs were a factor
❤❤❤
Love the Thistles to Vines Channel... !! 👍😎
Would you be so kind as to tell me what varieties of the berries you have? I didn’t catch the names. Thank you!
Prime Ark Freedom (in the blue tubs)
I also have some Ponca berries in the orange tubs behind them
I haven’t noticed any new growth from the laterals that grew last year. They are second year plant and i assumed these laterals would be where i get fruit this year. Do i need to do any pruning or leave them alone. Only thing i have pruned this year is the ones that haven’t grown any laterals
Don't prune ANY last year's canes or laterals unless it is DEAD
As far as growth... it depends on your climate
But, you should see blooms soon
@@BIGALTX thank you. i did trim the ones that didn’t have laterals but only about a inch.
I am a new gardener. I have fish amino acid fertiliser, bone meal, cow manure compost and organic soil. Can u please let me know how much to add to get the ratio 20:20:20. I didn’t know. I bought these and don’t want to waste these and buy 20:20:20 from the store if possible. Thanks in advance for your time.
There is really no way for me to determine that for you
I would say just add the recommended rate for each of those ingredients, combine them, and it should be "balanced"
It's hard to burn the plants with organics
@@BIGALTX Thank you
Is there any risk of the tubs freezing and cracking during winter when lows are consistently in the teens and twenties overnight?
I haven't seen any evidence of cold temps hurting the tubs
BUT... the tubs *DO* have a life expectancy
Here's what happened to one of mine and how I replaced it:
czcams.com/video/z6E1QQFAjlM/video.html
I forgot to add some lime in my tubs last year when I planted. You think it would be ok to sprinkle some on top now and water in ?
Sure. If you didn't lime last year, you might want to add a lot
I usually put in 1 LB when I first plant the tubs
I think a little lime could be added every year
So do you like the berries in tubs better than in ground?
Yes
For many reasons...
Ease of weeding, pest control, keeping grass out of the row... gophers, etc
They don't get burned?
Not that I've seen... As long as you don't use too much
Greetings I've been watching your blackberry vids and I'm wondering how well your Poncas would do where I am. I've seen lots of people talking on the internet (so it MUST be true) saying that Poncas need anywhere from 200 to 900 chill hours (so it can't all be true). I'm in north Florida (zone 9a) and I got 275 chill hours this winter. Do you keep track of your chill hours, and have you been happy with the bud break and fruit production on your Poncas?
thanx
--Phil
I don't keep track of my chill hours
Not sure about the CH of Poncas
They haven't come out of dormancy yet... they are a couple of weeks behind the PAFs
I think Poncas will do well, but if you're in Zone 9 I would do Prime Ark Freedom (if you don't already have some)
I like the PAFs better
@@BIGALTX I thought I had read that none of the Prime Ark varieties do well in Florida cuz it gets too hot, although you must get more extreme heat than I do. You're an hour or so east of Dallas, aren't you? I used to live in Ft Worth, and I have vivid memories of one summer about 35 years ago when we had 30+ consecutive days over 100 degrees. We hardly ever break 100 here, but we spend a lot of time in the mid to upper 90's. We've already had 24 days over 80.
Do you still manage to get primocane fruiting out of your PAFs, or do you just treat them like a normal florocane variety?
thanx
--Phil
In 2011 we had 82 days straight of 100 degrees F or more
The berries were planted in the ground then.
I had to water a LOT, but they did pretty well
Worst summer ever :(
@@BIGALTX Jeepers 82 days I can't even imagine how uncomfortable that must have been. But if PAFs can stand up to that kind of heat and still be productive, I need to give them a second look. Water isn''t an issue for me --- in the summer we normally get a thunderstorm that you can set your watch by every afternoon, plus I have two wells and a river full of water behind my house. So the next time I order plants I'm definitely gonna get a PAF or two.
I currently have just a single triple crown bush that I bought a year ago as a tiny tissue culture plant -- it's been in a 4 gallon pot for its entire life and is just getting its first flowers. But I ordered a half dozen Kiowa and Natchez bare roots and one Ponca just for kicks that should be here next week -- I was planning on putting them straight into the ground right away but your wicking tubs might work better for me.
Thanx for your help, and thanx for the great videos!

@@animalnoiselabs7114In 2011 I did not have PAF's. They hadn't been developed yet.
I DID have Primocanes.
But, as far as heat goes... last summer was very hot for several months
The PAFs did OK. Not as good as a normal summer, but pretty good.
