We are busily clearing areas and moving beds in between planting...as I chop back plants I take cuttings so I'll have more to plant around the garden later.
The Blueberry cuttings came from a broken piece off a damaged plant from Bunnings. The man there marked the price down by half and said I could easily take some cuttings from the broken bit...(do you think he knew me??)
I know Blueberries will struggle to grow here in our alkaline soil but...
- I've bought some acid potting mix and
- I will only water it with rain water and
- it will be living in a wicking tub BUT
- now I've found out I'll need to get another one for better pollination!
