Waste of space??

It took me 3 years to decide the blueberries were a waste of space. 5 berries from 2 bushes in those 3 years.
The pear tree was also a waste of time. Didn’t produce much and what it did was always like bullets.

I'm surprised the blueberries didn't do well for you. You're on very peaty soil right, so it should be quite acidic? My soil is only slightly acidic clay-loam and the blueberries thrive in a mix of 50/50 soil and peat, plus some sulphur chips once a year.

Yeah we’re on very acidic soil. Don’t know how long the blueberries had been in the garden. They were there when we moved in. I’m guessing not long as they weren’t very big plants. So I think 3 years was more than a fair chance for them.

I wonder if your soil is too acidic for them to do well. You could perhaps add some lime to increase the pH by 1 or so, or plant in half soil half compost/coir. They are well worth having if you can get them to grow, we got a couple of kilograms off each plant this year and they're nowhere near full size.

Only worth having if you like them   . I’ve seen other blueberries on the island doing very well. With masses of fruit on them. So I think you’re probably right the soil was at the incorrect ph for them. I was fairly new to gardening when I got the garden full of fruit bushes. So the not knowing along side the not liking them. Poor things didn’t really stand a chance. They got given to a budding young gardener along with most of my raspberries & gooseberries.
