Yesterday, I repotted the blueberry plants I bought a Costco of all places. I am not the type to buy plants at Costco but I didn't want to spend $25 on a plant at a nursery again. I have two varieties in pots at this time. The trio from Costco was such a great deal that I could not pass up having three different types. I have the "Misty" and O'Neal currently. Misty is the heavy producer for me. The other one was saved from a dark corner of a nursery in the San Fernando Valley. It was not cheap. The "Misty" was bought from the San Gabriel Nursery. I love that place. It has been my local nursery for over 20 years. Back to my blueberries...I got my coffee grounds from my local Starbucks. I got about 10lbs to cover my 3 black nursery pots. I have been using my own coffee grounds ever since and it works great for me. I don't have to treat my soil. The blueberries seem to like it. I just didn't have enough saved up for the new plants so I had to call Starbucks. I use Dr. Earth's acidic fertilizer when I have to.
I just want to take my plants with me if I relocate.
Update....a few years later....the three Costco bought blueberry plants....
Two did not make it. One is still small. Buy your plants at a reputable nursery. Buy a big blueberry bush. Buy something for your zone. Spend the money. You will be rewarded!
