YouTube is more than viral videos like baby shark. It's more than gaming videos about fortnite and minecraft. It's more than music videos and songs from billie eilish, ariana grande, eminem and taylor swift. It's more than YouTubers like pewdiepie, jake paul, logan paul and mr beast. It's more than memes and asmr videos. YouTube is full of valuable information that can educate us and help us build and grow beyond our wildest dreams. My love is gardening - and there is no better repository of gardening knowledge on earth than right here on YouTube. Come join me in my passion, or go find your own! You are more capable, skilled and talented than you know.

You werent just whistling Dixie, this is the best blueberry video. I had to watch it twice, and I still bookmarked it to refer back to. Thank you!!!

I'm in california and I have had 2 blueberry plants for 5+ years. my tips 1. grow in pots not in ground. 2. use at least 50% Peat moss soil (they need the PH peat provides). 3. I fertilize once a month spring- summer with miracle grow shake n feed. They have been super easy to grow! The real trick is to use Pots and Peat moss.

You are SO RIGHT ABOUT RESEARCHING CHILL HOURS! Because there's false chill hours being reported (like this map 4:37 says Tucson is "600" nope, realistically it's 300 sometimes only 250! Some sites say "400" -- that's not to say that once in a blue moon we MIGHT hit that but we need to plant items in the 150-250 range. How much $ I have wasted reading a plant needs 400-500 chill hours and that Tucson is 250 many years so NO FRUIT.

Damn, you weren't kidding when you said this video was packed with information. This one's definitely going in the watch later playlist for next spring. Thanks!
-
This is not only the best blueberry video on the internet, this is one of the BEST videos - regardless of topic - on the internet... period. Informative, well-researched, VERY informative (with educated sources), and it was considerably grammatically correct! (I.e., "shovels full" ...THANK YOU for that!) VERY GOOD VIDEO! WELL DONE! BRAVO!
-
Your videos are AMAZING. I learned more about why I have never had success growing them here in NJ, in your first 4 minutes, than in years of “experimenting myself. Your videos must take many hours of prep, and they are probably the best I’ve seen on YouTube. MANY THANKS and continued success.

That was a ton of great information, all presently simply and concisely. Even though I don't know a lot about blueberries I can tell that you definitely know what you're talking about! I would love to see an update sometime this summer to see how your bushes are doing!
-
Thank to sooo much. Moved to this area so you just solved my issue on what to get.
-
Excellent and full video. For someone who’s moving to NC (near Rocky Mount), this is almost made specifically for me. I’m going to be using this video for sure when preparing for and planting my bushes. Thanks so much.

Your videos are awesome. So much information!! And easy to understand. I am very happy that I found you several years ago as I watch your videos as my guru. Lol. I have an old old old blueberry bush that I am trying to figure out pruning steps to re-vigorate it to produce. And I am going to plant some in the future. Thank you for your videos. Have a great day! 🎉
