Thank you all so much for watching and Grow BIG!
thumbs down you tried to overtalk the noisy fawcett. thumbs down !!!! gotta give your video some thought. wasted my time.
Can I use fresh coffee mixing with water, not the coffee remains? Will the oil of the coffee kills the roots of the plants?
Awesome! Now i don't have to drink that stale coffee. My blueberries will. Thanks for the showing the difference between your uncafinated vs coffee watered one after 2 weeks. Wow what a diff! I just bought 3 bushes and was wondering when it's safe to plant them out? They have little green leaves so would those freeze now? Should i wait till it's warmer out?
did you use coffee grounds or instant coffee please
My plants look the same,I bought six of them that way.
Igot the plants for$1ea.from bid store on clearance rack.
I figure listening to you I could revive the plants.
If successful my reward will be knowledge I gained from you, and a bowl of berries in the future..
Question: how often do I use this coffee mixture on the plants?…Very helpful video thank you!
Sphagnum peat moss/pine bark mulch and rainwater are about all you need for healthy blueberries. Wood chips, tap water, coffee grounds, all these other crazy recipes, just arent the way to go. I only have 40 blueberry bushes, but that's all I do and they are amazing. Keep it natural, Keep it simple.
City water is ALWAYS neutral to alkaline to prevent lead leaching from household or city plunbing. Therefore, unless your soil is very acidic, or you make that coffee with rainwater, you are not lowering your pH significantly. However, coffee adds nitrogen, copper and more, plus organic matter. Sprinkling coffee grounds arround youe blueberries is good for many reasond. Iron sulfate is best for liwering pH.
Thank you for the cheap and easy way to keep the PH low on blueberries
I think, you should use the diluted white vinegar cause it's organic and helpful. I'm always use the white vinegar for my blueberry sharp blue
I grow my blueberries in 7.0 neutral soil and they thrive.
If blueberries require acidic soil why are mine thriving and giving me more than I can take in?
Does this work for grape vines?
geez i saw PH and automatically thought you meant PoHo. Boy was I wrong.
Is it used coffee
Can't wait to try this, will this work with BlackBerry bushes tooo?
Thank you so much! It works. My blueberry plant was doing nothing and now it’s growing and the berries are turning blue and there are New once popping up every day.
My blueberry plants look dead. It’s November 10 in south Texas and the super hot weather is over. We are about to start our cold/freezing season. Are they supposed to look dead right now??
For everybody asking questions: you must use the coffee itself. One you make the coffee all the acidity leaves the grounds. Also don’t do this too often because even though the plants love the lowered ph the caffeine isn’t good for them in high doses
I second the peat moss as soil . I grow my blueberries in 100% peatmoss with nothing else added except azalea fertilizer and a pine bark mulch on top . Water them regularly and they will thrive . Mine already have 5’ canes after only one growing season . Southern high bush variety.
How often can I water the plans w coffee
Do you use coffee each and every time you water your blueberries? Or just once or twice a week?
How many times should we do this? Also can we use used coffee beans?
Do you still recommend this Luke?
Could I do this with my bareroot roses I just planted. The soil is too alkaline.
Is this coffee,as opposed to coffee grounds? Thanks for an answer, please
I guess blueberries are just like me in the morning, just need some coffee to get going.
Good video
Great Video
Very very useful technique , thank u.
Can you mix it with using vinegar and water?
