Fertilize

Apply a half-strength dose of fertilizer to acid loving plants — such as blueberries, lingonberries and cranberries— as buds start to swell on the plants. Use a fertilizer that is specifically for blueberry or rhododendron. Raintree Nursery offers a great balanced organic blueberry fertilizer. Follow with a light mulch of wood chips or pine needles under the blueberries. Apply a second half dose of fertilizer when the flowers fall.
