Soil Medium/Depth for Blueberries

11 years ago

I know there have been many posts on the best soil medium for blueberries, but I have 2 rather specific questions:

(1) Edible Landscaping recommended planting in 100% pine bark mulch, but now that I'm reading the forums, I see that others are planting in peat moss too. I have a free and unlimited supply for leaf mulch, so I would be interested in using that too if possible. Can someone recommend a formula that uses pine bark mulch, peat moss, and/or leaf mulch?

(2) How deep did you amend the soil? I heard that blueberries have very shallow roots. is 4-6 inches too shallow? If relevant, I live in northern VA with alkaline clay soil.

Thank you very much!
