Our Blueberries are Loaded

When we started our blueberries we didn't have much success because they always looked sickly and didn't produce.  We found that digging decomposed pine needles into the ground around the plants help them by raising the acidic level.  Every time we go hiking or camping we bring back three or four plastic shopping bags of the dirt from around the base of pine and fir trees.  Sulfur will work also but we like using the pine needles.  And the blueberries have been doing very well.
