Way back when I bought a house in SE Portland, there were 2 blueberry bushes

yup, despite pulling it out every year.

3- I mulched with pine and Cedrus deodara needles (I read they like acid)
(the old lady whose driveway I'd sweep for the Cedrus needles would give me
cake and pie)


I the needles I can sweep up go under the blues, but it's not nearly enough.


5- I'd pee on the planting during the winter rains (good cover from the
neighbors)


I don't know about grass on the west coast but here in the midwest peeing on grass makes it grow faster, taller & greener.


Here in the NE, too. I have a friend who "fertilizes" his back yard at night because it's a pain to get to his toilet. You can see the think healthy clumps that he's serviced.

It looks like my mistake might have been planting short blueberries - lowbush and "half-high". Oh well, I'll just keep pulling and mulching.
