blueberries in pots?

11 years ago

Is anyone growing blueberries in pots? I have been searching the web but would really like to know about MN gardeners. Are you mixing your own soil? What are you using? Size pots? I have seen people using 5gal buckets and am assuming they put drain holes in the bottoms. Do you bury them? Leave them out? put in storage?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks,

Jodi

I've never grown blueberries in the ground or containers, but I do remember listening Ron Wilson's podcast and he talks about growing them in containers. See the link below.
