Question:

Answers:
Full sun, yes. They like acidic soil with high organic content.


blueberries needs lots of sun
The first answer - full sun, acidic soil, and lots of organic matter is correct: Keep a thick layer of mulch around your blueberry bushes to eliminate weeds, and help keep the soil moist. Also, they are very susceptible to over fertilization which will cause mushy and tasteless berries, fertilize once in the spring and once again in late summer. If you've planted a young plant, they have to be a least 3 years old before they produce, so don't be discouraged if you don't get fruit right away. After that, just watch for overcrowding and enjoy the fruit!
