Mark,

I have been growing blueberries (seedlings and plant divisions) for the past year in pure peat mixed with fine sand.  So far they have been doing well but I could not comment regarding long term.  Some of the plants are large enough that I will probably have to remove blossoms in the spring.

Anyone tried growing blueberries in bales of peat?  I think it was in Fruit Grower News that some guy was doing it in one of the plains states with success.  Something I've been toying with in the back of my mind.
