I think that is pretty standard for blueberries everywhere. They want somewhat acid soil. You can dump your used coffee grounds around them if the soil isn't acid enough.I've been told blueberries need 2-3 yrs to become firmly established. I don't know if that's just in my area or everywhere
That is very very sad.I can't even GIVE eggs away and the food bank can't take them because of state law & USDA regulations.
Can you leave a sign at the food bank that if anyone wants a gift of eggs to call you? Some regulations are out of control.
That would be a nice crop! I hope no pests attack the chicken plants and you have a good harvest. Did you succession plant so you don't get all 20 at the same time?hmmm maybe like 20 or so
I'm not sure they are allowed to do that... But I WILL find a way. I'm determined. I just washed up and candled (12) 18-packs of eggs and (2) dozen. That's just eggs from the past week - 10 days. I candled them because I had some broodies who've turned on the oven and I wanted to weed out any where development may have started. (I have probably 2-3 dozen of those....)Can you leave a sign at the food bank that if anyone wants a gift of eggs to call you? Some regulations are out of control.
I use a lot of extra eggs for the dogs, chickens, etc. Even put a bunch in the compost... We certainly eat well between our garden, chickens, living in a small town with low cost of living, and we've been blessed with good careers.Regarding the food bank not taking eggs. I can see their point of not taking eggs because of egg handling or other regs and liability issues (government and insurance can make their life hell).
I too can't give eggs to the shelter where my church volunteers for similar reasons. We should all start developing our own sort of grapevine network with friends and neighbors to be able to get our abundance where it is truly needed. It may not be thru official outlets and that can be a good thing - it may force people to develop relationships with an actual person. Maybe people who are afraid of my homegrown food really don't need it.
NOTE: Me, my neighbors, my dogs and chickens eat very well when there's an abundance of eggs that I can't sell.
Maybe you should sell some hatching eggs or chicks.I'm not sure they are allowed to do that... But I WILL find a way. I'm determined. I just washed up and candled (12) 18-packs of eggs and (2) dozen.

I *really* need to get rid of some broodies! Waaaaay too many chickens!
