We in kenya here we are blessed Becoz we just started growing blue berries a couple of years ago and I thank God be coz our blue berries are not affected by any insects I feel blessed. We don't spray any insects and no fertilizers only mulching and making sure the ph is controlled.
interesting never thought they would do well in Africa you must have the southern rabbiteye variety then.
@@dictionaryzzzeverything grows in Africa. Even grapes, strawberries literally anything
thats amazing@@mcclaink06
Pretty cool to hear it’s working for you.
is it because the local insects havent come to learn of your blueberries yet? what pH range do you keep your blueberries at? I heard they like acid soil
This is like that dude in the frat house that was adamant about having plants in the house started a farm. And I love it.
You are livin' the dream. Never give up on it.
It's hilarious that this guy seems like he'd run the world's greatest burger joint, but he's a blueberry farmer. He seems like a city guy, idk it's just funny to me
a video worth gold
Thank you so much for this video, you have an amazing & beautiful farm!! Wow u must be so proud, congratulations 👏🏼
This was a great video!!
Great video, thanks for the honest and useful info. We’re starting our organic u/pick blueberry farm outside Seattle. Mature plants go in in the fall and next summer the barn doors open for people to start picking. Thx again!
how do you deal with pests?
You should look into a solar powered system. We have a small(1 acre) field with a pumping capacity of 2000 gallons per hour.
I love this and i am proud of you i rake blue berries but the wild blue berries reap corns rasberry apples and strawberries
This was a great interview.
Courage! You must continue to grow...raspberries. blackberries😂❤
Ahhh...someone who loves dogs and plants!
bro's eyes look like blueberries too
😂😂
Wow the vedio is amazing.., there is a lot to learn from it ..
promoting the presence of earwigs, damsel bugs, spiders, ants, and minute pirate bugs will drastically improve the predation of spotted wings! Look into that -
This is great. Would you be interested in sharing details about the grant process in Michigan?
I wonder if they would consider freezing them for smoothies. Tap into that market. Or turning the firsr harvest into jams that will make a higher profit and can be stored and shipped worldwide without spoilage.
You have wonderful Carmelite nuns in Traverse City. They would love your blueberries if you should ever visit them.
I just bought a blueberry plant from Walmart for $7 lol. I want to learn how to do a food forest and would love to do a row of berries plants!
Bravo! 👍👍
Set up a little solar system to compensate for energy usage during the day and a wind mill for night time usage.
Sweet .
I'm just starting my journey in Canada. i'm struggling with planning my rows for irrigation. I feel i should hill slightly due to my land, just not sure how wide to make them. I know 10 feet between rows but how much space does a row take. Thank you for sharing, it's been very helpful.
do you have to deal w animals (deer/bears)? if so, how do mitigate?
What questions do you have for Bulldog Berries?
What's the annual P&L look like?
Have you watched the show Shorey? The team name is a bulldog blueberries.
I am currently living on 3+ acres for a few years. What do you suggest me doing?
Those blueberries syrups are available in Amazon? Or Walmart? Thank you. Wow!! Amazing farm berries!!
Have fun picking them bruh. Gave it up several years ago
Aren't there machines for that? Genuine question
They have a hand tool that picks a bunch of berry's at once !!
could you give some info on the mich land grants?
His eeeeeeeeeeyes.. nobodys talk about his eyes 😍
What kind of soil do you need to grow blueberries?
My dream!
❤
I may have missed it but did he say what type of black berries he grows?
What I've heard is blueberries are more profitable than apples... but I guess it is regional.
Hopefully the birds don’t spot your farm. I have a few blueberry plants, but the birds get the fruit the day it’s ripe
Mom&dad loaded dont lie son lol they bout ya land😂
I am doing farming the same path. My family has farmed for generations and I do not like working for the man.
Tell me about your bird control strategies please
I find it interesting the field looks like that and your saying you don't have a degree in agriculture
NIIIIIIIICE
How do you stop birds from eating your berries?
Birdshot
Does that fly have any predators? If so, what can you do to encourage those predators to work the fields?
Please, as a vegetable farmer I am asking you not to ask stupid questions.
@@stanleynowak9325 it's not a stupid question. Using natural predators is a cost effective solution. If you have horn worms, you want to attract parasitic wasps to your garden. If you have aphids, you want LadyBugs in your garden. If you have skeeters, you want to have a dragonfly pond.
As a vegetable grower I put in the effort to know what I need. Try it out some time.
I have raspberry bushes here in upstate ny and those fly larvae made me not even pick my berries last year. What can I spray to fix this?
How about vinegar ?
I soaked them in vinegar after picking but they get soggy and are pretty much only good for jam after soaking them. I’d soak a small bowl in vinegar and 100 or more would come floating to the top
How do you keep the birds away on that many bushes?
Flame thrower
Flying drones firing bullets
May I ask what kinds of blueberry do you have in your farm ?
They are spherical and blue in color
How many time fruit season a year
Fruit season 3 time.
This guy needs a harvester for these things
How do you keep the birds from eating them.
That's where the bull dog comes in ?
Well detailed video
I can join your farm
If you pick me
Where do you buy the plants for $2/each?????????????????????????
Bulk wholesale from other blueberry farms
Does it put the lotion on it’s skin?
It does way more than that.
Where's the Bulldog ?
Step one move to a place that isn't limestone soil.
Step 1... buy like 40 acers of sour soil...
Grow blueberries...
I dont see any problems 😂😂
He stole my idea he took my jerbb rabble rabble rabble
Those are not blueberries. At least not where I live. Those are either some sort of hybrid or something else…. Not blueberries
Where do you live that these 'arent' blueberries?!! Those are the blueberriest of blueberries lol
Sounds like this guy has no business plan or any way of knowing where he wants to be in a few years as a business. Also he sounds like he needs to get more into his dealings as far as the books with profits and losses. He may find that he is wasting a lot of money on stuff and could be more intentional. Eventually it will catch up to their business.
I wholeheartedly agree with that question.
He boasted about not having any level of formal education. While you can experience success without formal education, which will require capital and the connections, it sounds like he needs formal education.
@@bsharp1533A formal education for what? He sells blueberries to grocery stores already and customers come to him and do labor to pick the product. He literally mentions his biggest expense is the electric from the water well.
