Hartmanns is blueberry.

I bought about 90 plants from them about 3 years ago. I modified my soil to where I thought it should be, but about 1/2 died because my soil was not right. This last spring I planted them in pure peat moss with close spacing. They took off and did great. And I redid my blueberry bed with 11 bales of peat moss (42 Cu.Ft.) for 22 plants. 8" deep between plants and deeper 15-18" at each plant. When you look at it, it looks like all peat moss, but I think it is somewhere about 25% peat moss. I am sure it will pack down after year or two. I will be using pine bark fines for mulch in the future.

I probably was not clear that I rototilled the peat moss into the existing soil which came out to be about 25% peat moss, 75% soil.

Matt, Thanks for the information. I have contacted them and they gave me the info that I was looking for. What size plants did you get? Did they go in the ground or did you pot them? I'd assume that the plants that I'm interested in are not big enough to field plant. They are only 6-12 inches. I had 6 very old and large plants that was here when we moved 16 years ago. They produce enough berries for us, the neighbors and the birds. They are getting tired and I have a new site ready for 16 new plants this spring. What are planing to do with all of the berries once they start producing? I'm considering a small pick your own patch. Though not sure at this point. Blueberries do well here and I've been told that this area was once called blueberry hill back in the early 1900's. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. What part of the state is 5a/6b ? Thanks, Luke

I got the 3-6" ones. At least half were the next size up or larger with no extra charges. I planted them in the field, but was close next to the garden so I could water often. If I had to do over again I would plant them 6" apart in pure peat moss for a year. Then once the field was how I wanted it would plant next spring. I will probably freeze them for smoothies later or give them away. Between Plain City and Columbus. If your soil is acidic then you may not need as much peat moss. With those old 6 plants how much do you get? I got Blueray, Sierra, Jersey, Hannahs Choice, Elizabeth, and Chandler which hopefully spreads out the harvest as much as possible.

Matt, I have a row ready for 16 2 year old plants that I ordered from Nourse. They will be planted in the spring. I plan to pot about 150 6-12" plants. I'll probably keep them for a year and try selling them. If they don't sell then I'll probably plant them, I can't plan that far in advance. The 6 old plants that I have produce an amazing amount of berries. We freeze a lot of berries and eat as many as we can fresh. It's difficult to estimate exactally how many we get in the season. I did net them this year and that helped with the bird problem. Keep in touch, I'm always interested in practical experiences. I live outside Wadsworth and I have a daughter that lives in New Albany. Thanks for the information. Luke
