Thanks for the information... I'm growing 4 different varieties in northern Mi. as well. I'm trying a natural mulch this year... aspen leaves and pine needles that I raked from the woods
Love it! Pine needles are natures acidic mulch, we use them as much as we can. I have a pile of sand with dead pine needles that I dig from each year to amend my berry plants with - they’re loving it!
Hi @NimseyLou! Sorry about that, here is the link to the pH soil tester that I have: amzn.to/3ZFg4ur It is a 4-in-1 meter that also measures moisture, humidity, and sunlight along with pH. However I really only trust it for moisture and pH!
I would hold off until your raspberry comes out of dormancy! I usually treat the soil acidifiers like I would a fertilizer, wait until the plant is actively growing then gradually add in. If you have thick or heavy soil, you can consider peat moss as an alternative as this will lighten you soil and make it slightly more acidic as well! Peat moss can be amended at any time
Blueberries are so delicious and versatile! I had to do a little research, but it does not look like the climate in Algeria would be suitable for growing blueberries year-round. However you could try starting blueberries in containers and them bringing them indoors during your very wet/rainy seasons. Alternatively, blueberries can be grown hydroponically and tend to grow much faster with this method!

Just what I needed - a hefty dose of blueberry knowledge. Nice hat by the way.
Thank you so much! The hat is much needed protection from the sun 👒 best of luck to you with your blueberries, thanks for watching!
I’ve watched so many videos on how to grow blueberries in containers and this by far is the best one.
Very informative, and step-by-step.
Thank you so much!

You mentioned that you would link to a pH soil tester. But I don't see it. Thanks for the video

Should I add soil acidifier on a dormant blackberry ? In Feb 16 in Texas
