My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help with blueberry bush....

12 years ago

So my friend is moving & I dug up a blueberry bush from her house that never did well. I know I need at least 1 more, will probably buy 2, dh plans to plant them in buckets in the ground, will that be big enough? I know I need acidic soil, I have access to a lot of pine needles, what else should I add? The bush wasn't very big, does have leaves though.
