This video covers the method I use when transplanting blueberries.
……………….
First, I dig a hole, about twice the size of the root-ball. I make sure the plant sits at the same height it did at the nursery.
Next. I take the soil from the hole and mix it 50/50 with peat moss. I use that mix to back fill the hole around the plant.
Once the plant is buried I sprinkle a good compost on top around the plant. Being careful to ensure the compost does not come in contact with the plant. (I prefer to layer on top instead of mix in the hole so I do not burn the roots with excess Nitrogen). Then I water thoroughly.
To keep weeds down I use OMRI certified rolls of paper around the base of the plant. Then I cover with organic matter. Preferably, whole tree wood chips.

What to Expect on our Channel:
Tiny Hilltop is the digital life-form of Nate and Evan’s journey toward food self-sufficiency. Videos will include organic gardening, greenhouse gardening, and starting an orchard using permaculture concepts when possible. We hope that our videos can bring the peace and tranquility we feel when growing food amongst the trees. We would be honored if you chose to follow along on our journey!
Tiny Hilltop Background:
Nate has been dealing with chronic health issues for over a decade. The worst of it starting in 2011, taking me from 200lbs to 150lbs in a few months. He was mostly bedridden, requiring a wheelchair to leave the house for nearly three years. Liver and immune issues caused him to develop a sensitivity to chemicals. That started his journey towards living remotely, designing a non-toxic tiny house, growing his own food, and attempting to be as self sustainable as possible. Starting in 2020, Evan, will be doing most of the heavy lifting but Nate will still be involved with planning and production of videos.
Thanks For Watching!
