I'm so old I Remember when:

Blueberries like 4.5-5.5 pH range. I was sure my blueberry patch was plenty acidic, since I mulched it with oak leaves every year. I tested the soil... 7.0. That spring, the next fall, and the next spring, I added soil acidifier. And bammo! I started getting more blueberries!

I need to net mine to actually get a crop. When I keep the birds away I can count on about 25 lbs per season.

Good for you, Dutch! If you're confused, just ask. We'll point you in the right direction!

Some tips, just in case you haven't already figured them out.

I'm = I am
An apostrophe (') in the middle of a word usually indicates a letter left out, often a vowel.

"prob'bly" = probably (sometimes shortened to "probly.") Both slang.

"jest" and "n" are a Southern dialect for "just" and "and," also used sometimes as slang.

"c'aint" = can't = can not (cannot) "aint" is slang for are not.

Movin' = moving. An apostrophe after "in" at the end of a word is a slang shortening of the "ing" suffix.

Sorry if I over-explained. I can't help it. I'm a Word Nerd!

So glad my post came in handy.

My mom used to have that brass one. My Barbie doll tried playing with it a time or two but in the end she preferred her pick-up .

I know that blueberries like about a 4.5 Ph although mine have done well at a 5.4 Ph. You could also get a Ph meter with probes to stick in the soil.

My blueberries do very well. I have no idea what my soil ph is but I'll test it this spring and adjust if needed

Same here. Last year our netting was so good that the weeds grew like crazy too. I'm gonna have to adjust that also

I had the first laptop. It was probably more of a glorified calculator.
