  • Subject: [NAFEX] blueberries in bales of peat
  • Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:43:02 -0400

Growing blueberries in bales of peat, you mean with the plastic still holding the bales together?  A common medium for potting blueberries is 50-50 sand and peat but with a wetting agent in the mix because peat moss tends to repel water.  Of course, using a 50-50 mix of peat and soil is often recommended for establishing blueberries in most soils.  Its drawback is that the peat usually only takes a short time to decompose once well incorporated in aerated soil so the benefit of its acidity declines in time if not augmented with sulfur.
