How do you plant blueberry's web site in good?

The answer I got on the benefits of peat was great. I did not plant mine that way though, my better judgment was however to do it like your answer. I planted in 100 % peat moss like the nursery recommended. I emailed the peat moss web site and asked if the way I planted was acceptable. I will share what I find out. Not enough room on the feed back on the answers to say all you need to say sometimes.

Not sure about 100% peat, but blueberries do like an acid soil. I worked in about 25% peat into my soil, and I annually side dress with sulfur. My soil is mostly clay and lime stone, but the blueberries are doing great. This was the 2nd year since I planted, and had a very good harvest. Good luck!

Since you already planted them, I would just pull away some of the mulch that you covered the area with and spread some compost, as it rains or you water the nutrients from the compost will seep into the ground to the roots (of course re-cover with the mulch). This helps with keeping nutrients to all natural and chemical free, unless you don't have a problem with pesticides, then you add what ever to the ground to help give the bush nutrients. This beats trying to dig the plants back up and starting all over. Which can risk damaging the bushes. I am thinking since the damage is already done per say, you are better off not trying to dig it up and sometimes they will do wonderful in the condition that they are in, with no other additions to the soil. Not knowing what the soil type is there in Tenn. I don't know what to advise you as far as that goes and how much room is around the root ball and the space that it is before the root reaches the ground area and not the peat moss, so it could all be fine, as long as the roots can reach some soil, then again you may only have to add nutrients the first year or two then once the roots expand out, may be able to draw what it needs out of the soil then.
