Could we simply leave the peat moss bag on the surface of the ground?
How long will the plastic bag survive the sunlight before it deteriorates?

Hi,vast
Someone mentioned this technique a while back...
Buy a large bale of peat moss. Punch holes in one side (drain holes) on
one flat side. Dig a hole and place the bale in the hole with drain holes
down. Now cut an "X" in the center of the top of the bale. Soak peat
moss. After it is soaked throughout plant a blueberry bush directly into
the peat. Keep peat moss damp.
You have basicly created a bog for the blueberry bush to grow in with the
proper PH.
The bag the peat moss cames in acts as a large planter. If you have to
move it, it can be dug and moved.
Later,
Tom
