Knowing your limestone rich valley, rabbit eyes
must not be so fussy. It also speaks to the fact that blueberries can handle
more calcium and a higher ph as long as there other mineral needs are met.
That being said, I know you must add sulfur or other amendments.

Mark, Hector has to add sulfur every year. All the
limestone that's washed down into his bottomland makes for a much more
balanced soil than what's up on the acidic Highland Rim overhead.
Everything grows much better down there, but apart from the blueberries
there's a fairly bad frost pocket effect. And the air circulation is
nil, the sun doesn't dry things quickly because it comes over the ridge so
late in the day. There's no way to win in the fruit game.
