   Alan Haigh commented on my blueberry growing article and seems to have 
taken statements out of context.

Alan,
   My reason for waiting a year before planting blueberries is to make sure 
that the soil is acidified sufficiently.  If we plant our blueberries before 
the proper pH is attained, it is difficult to continue acidification because 
we can't till the soil.  It is far easier to acidify soil that has no plants 
in it yet.
   I'd comment on some of Alan's other arguments but I donate my Pomonas to 
the local library so I can't re-read the article to know for sure just what 
it was that I said.  The best I can do, at this point, is to wonder, "Did I 
say that?"
