Default Re: Got my blueberry bushes...

I'm not too worried about fertilizer right now since this area has very fertile soil to begin with and they are small plants which really need to just get their roots established in this ground. They have been inoculated with myccorhizal fungi from the time they were tiny seedlings so they should have an easier time adjusting to the ground. I'll avoid chemical fertilizers altogether since I want to make sure the soil stays healthy.

So far, Many of these seedlings have turned reddish likely due to the increase in sunlight and my goal for the rest of this season is to get each of these plants to grow a couple shoots so I'll be watering these plants and keeping them moist almost every day.
