Your videos are so helpful. Love that you guys do everything by hand. So old fashioned!
Thank you. Our goal is to help people to grow their own #blueberries at home with our ultra-heavy bearing #blueberry #plants and it's always best to work the soil by hand. Best regards: www.DiMeoFarms.com/blueberry-plants
Thanks for the spacing tip. Just what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
We just planted 100 of the DiMeo's plants and they were fine, healthy blueberry plants. Will be planting more this Spring, just put in another order today. Fine people to do business with.
We greatly appreciate your #blueberry #plants business. Thank you: www.DiMeoFarms.com
This is how we spaced ours, thank you for the beautiful blueberry bushes you shipped us
It's the property spacing, 2.5' feet, it really is, because spacing #blueberry #bushes farther apart will not lead to an increase in yield or #berry production, like many people often think. Because if that was the case, blueberry farmers like us would space them farther apart since production and yield is one of the most important factors in our farm business. Best regards: www.DiMeoFarms.com
Love these guys. Awesome plants!
Thank you. We have been in the #blueberry business for many years and enjoy helping people grow their own #blueberries at home for free instead of paying big money for them at the supermarket. Get advice from one of our DiMeo blueberry farmers: www.DiMeoFarms.com
I love your videos. You give a lot of information and share your love of this beautiful blueberry plants with others. This spring I'd like to plant your "starter" 1.5 year old plants. What is best soil/air temperature to start planting to avoid mortality as much as possible? Do you have any videos with your "starter" plants to see how do they look and what size they are?
We can give you a call to discuss your #blueberry soil questions and to give you the highest blueberry plant survivability rates with our "ultra-heavy bearing" blueberry bushes. Growing #blueberries for fresh market retail or selling at farmers markets, roadside fruit stands can be very profitable in this market.

Nice lay out. Ive been thinking about planting some rows of blueberrys. My produce
grow area is 5.5 acres. I wonder is I put just two rows 165ft long to start would be
enough for picking and not run out.
When you are ready to plant some blueberries plants just let us know. If you plant those 5.5 acres of blueberries you mentioned, that can give you a great second income for retirement. Just another great retirement income idea. Those two rows you mentioned would only come out to about 132 #blueberries #bushes and that's not very many blueberry bushes. We recommend staring out with at least 600 blueberry plants so you have at least a half acre of blueberries so you will not run out of blueberries for your customers.

I have heard to plant about 5 feet apart in rows, but you said 2 1/2. Would that be too close? Thanks
Planting 5' feet apart would be way too far apart. The spacing of 2.5' feet apart is maximizing the usage of your land, without compromising yield. Many years ago, old timers though that planting 4 to 5' foot apart would increase #blueberry yield but this is simply not the case. You can space them that far apart, but it will not increase yield or production per acre, but rather would just be cosmetic. Make the best use of your land space and such by planting closer at 2.5' feet apart. Members of our family have literally hundreds of acres of #blueberries and they are all spaced 2.5' feet apart. Thank you: www.DiMeoFarms.com
Do you have to have that much room between rows if I am planting in my yard? Or is that just for your machines.
Your row spacing is always determined by what type of equipment you are farming with commercially, or growing with at home. For example, blueberry farmers like us use row crop tractors that require only a 9' foot wide spacing between each row. But if you are growing at home in your yard, maybe you are using a rototiller to till between the rows, or maybe a lawnmower to cut between each of the rows. If that is the case, then the row spacing can be reduced down to about 6' feet wide instead of our recommended 9' foot wide spacing. Remember the 2.5' feet between each plant, and 9' foot between each row maximizes the use of our land without compromising yield or production. Thank you for your question. www.DiMeoFarms.com
Most growers suggest a spacing of about 5 feet for northern highbush blueberries. Why do you have yours spaced so closely. Do you prune them to keep them small?
Any growers who are suggesting spacing of 5' feet apart for high bush blueberry plants do not know what they are talking about. Yes, generations ago the old farmers thought that spacing blueberry bushes farther apart will allow better growth and yield more blueberries, but this proved not to be true. The DiMeo family as a whole has close to 1,000 acres of acres of blueberries currently in production, and the blueberry bushes are all spaced 2.5' feet apart to maximize use of the land without compromising blueberry yield or overall production of blueberries. The plants in this video were not pruned. It was a new field of blueberry plants that were just starting out. If you space 5' feet apart you will just be wasting space because it will not lead to any advantages as far as yield and production. We will be happy to discuss this further with you and answer all of your questions. Just give us a call at (609) 561-5905 and we will be happy to help. www.DiMeoFarms.com/blueberry-plants
How did you do your irrigation?
It's drip irrigation. Very cheap to do, as an entire 1,000' foot roll of drip irrigation only costs around $150 dollars or so and you simply snake it around every two plants, and go right down the row. Drip irrigation is only required if you are planting 1/4 acre or more, otherwise, if someone is just planting a couple rows of #blueberries then you can just get a cheap drip garden hose from Walmart or somewhere and use that to keep it simple. Thanks for your questions. All the best: www.DiMeoFarms.com/blueberry-plants
Doing recon on blueberry patches for my land I wanna green up.thanks for the information
Not a bad idea to "green up" these days and start growing your own berries. Food prices are getting higher and inflation is getting out of control. We think more people are going to get smart and start growing their own food at home for food security and to save money.
how much do you water them on the drip line curious , thanks
We keep the soil moist, but not saturated.
is 9 feet necessary spacing between the two plants or can I go shorter.?
You should space blueberry plants 2.5' feet between each blueberry plant, down the row, because spacing them farther apart than that spacing will not necessarily lead to an increase of blueberries yield or production like some people think it will. As far as the spacing between rows, that is dictated by the width of your tractor, for example if you have speciality row crop tractors like us, then the spacing is only 9' feet between each row, since speciality row crop #tractors are only 5' feet wide, but if you have a standard #tractor with a three-point hitch on the back, then you should go 10' feet wide to give yourself some space so you don't damage the blueberry bushes as you are going down the blueberry field row: www.DiMeoFarms.com

Blueberry drip #irrigation holes are spaced every 18" inches apart between each blueberry plant. But the drip irrigation tubing comes in all types of spacing, drip irrigation is cheap though and comes in 1,000 foot rolls and you only need 3 rolls per acre, so that's only about $450 per acre for the drip tubing to complete your blueberry field irrigation. Call us now with questions at (609) 561-5905. We will be happy to help you. Thanks. www.DiMeoFarms.com

@@dimeofarms how long will it take for the starters to produce?
Do you add sulfur to your crops?
You should add sulfur to your blueberry field if your pH level is too high, and you should also add limestone to your #blueberry field if your pH is too low. I know that many blueberry farms don't like to add limestone, but they really should if their pH levels start getting into the 3's or the low 4's but this is what we recommend. Thank you for your question. Best regards: www.DiMeoFarms.com
