I planted a bush last year yes just one because I was not sure it would survive it did doesnt look great yet but has leaves and such then cody knocks a branch off it goofy dog.....but it is ok I planted 3 more plus some raspberry bushes and strawberry bushes and a tomato plant

 

 

I have extra peat moss they didnt sell any smaller bags at the garden place I guess not sure what I am going to do with it

Do you have any potted plants you could use it on?... maybe you could plant some more berries... you can never have enough berries... yum! :)

 

I am going to place some wood chips or mulch in there to keep the weeds and grass at bay, plus I might pant some roses in the front of my house along with a few flowers and put some wood chips in there also. 

Blueberries want acidic soil. Get that pH down to 5.0 - 5.5 any way you can. Coffee grounds, pine needles, sulfur, peat. There's a fertilizer for hydrangeas (acid lovers too), hell Sarge has even mixed vinegar in the watering to acidify the soil. Don't do it too fast but a little bit over several years.

 

It generally takes us about 5 years from planting a 2 or 3 year-old store-bought plant for any decent production, and 6 or 8 years if we grow our own from seed ... but then after that it's 40 to 50 years of production. They live a Loooooong time.

 

Mulch the hell out of 'em. Deep and wide. They have a shallow root system that won't go very deep seeking water, so protect the shallow surface water with mulch.

 

You'll also need bird protection in a few years or you'll get nothing for your efforts and the birds' bellies will be full of all your hard work.

I love talking about bush

put mulch down think I want one more bag in there
