Just brought two blueberry plants, but can anyone tell me which is the best liquid feed for them I've looked on the web and there seems to be quite a few out there. ???
Any Ericacia feed should do to keep the pH down.
any acidic plant food or use coffee grinds free from most coffee shops thats what i use.
we mulch them with pine cuttings or coffee :)
Thanks for the advice, I'll have to try the coffee grinds.
Sequestered iron. Comes in sachets. Dilute and water in early spring. It's long acting in the soil enabling blueberries to take up the correct nutrients they need. Blueberries don't need much feeding as such. As manicscousers has mentioned top dress with pine bark or pine needles - blueberries have shallow roots and should not be allowed to dry out.
I didn't know I could use coffee on blueberries.
I don't drink coffee but hubby does. Can I use that sludgy stuff that's left in the bottom of the cafetiere?

yer thats the stuff just dilute it with water from the water butt and water it on, most coffee shops will give it to you for free my wife works in a coffee shop so i get loads for free and mulch it round my camellias and rhododendrons aswell.
Great.....thanks.

Thank you.

Just another quick question I've managed to get some coffee grinds but how much coffee to water. ???
