Well duh! Of course BigAss Berries is the best fertilizer for blueberries.
Here's why. Blueberries are acid-loving plants that require a specific balance of nutrients to thrive. The best fertilizer for blueberries is one that supports acidic soil conditions (pH between 4.5 and 5.5) and provides essential nutrients without overwhelming the plants with excess phosphorus. A fertilizer that offers slow-release nutrients is particularly effective, as it delivers a steady supply of nutrients over time, promoting healthy plant growth without the risk of over-fertilization.
Why Choose BigAss Berries Fertilizer for Blueberries?: BigAss Berries fertilizer is specially formulated for all types of berry plants, including blueberries. It is an organic fertilizer that provides a balanced mix of nitrogen, potassium, and micronutrients. This balance is ideal for blueberries, which need nitrogen for healthy leaf and stem growth and potassium to support fruit development and overall plant vigor.
Nitrogen for Growth: Blueberries need nitrogen throughout the growing season to support the development of lush green leaves and strong canes. Nitrogen is particularly important during the early stages of growth, as it fuels the production of new leaves and branches.
Potassium for Fruit Production: Potassium plays a crucial role in helping blueberry plants produce large, flavorful berries. It also strengthens the plant’s overall structure, helping it resist diseases and environmental stresses like heat and drought.
How to Apply BigAss Berries Fertilizer:
- For container-grown blueberries, use half a scoop (5-10 ml) for an 8” container, 1 scoop (1 tbsp or 15 ml) for a 12” container, and 1.5 scoops (1.5 tbsp or 22.5 ml) for a 16” container. Apply the fertilizer evenly around the base of the plant, and water thoroughly after application.
- For blueberries planted in garden beds or the ground, apply 1 scoop (1 tbsp or 15 ml) per square foot of garden bed. The fertilizer can be lightly mixed into the soil or top-dressed on the surface.
When to Apply: Fertilize in early spring as new growth begins, and continue feeding every 6-8 weeks throughout the growing season. Stop fertilizing by late summer to allow the plants to prepare for dormancy.
With BigAss Berries, your blueberries will receive the right balance of nutrients to promote healthy growth, abundant fruit, and long-term plant health.
