I am using my Blueberries as a hedge (2 each 60 ft hedges) between myself and my neighbor. When I had my yard landscaped, I had the entire yard slope very gently towards this side of the yard and then had a ditch dug to drain out all excess water towards the river. I have been planting on both sides of this ditch I created. My blueberries have been going about 3 years now and I am getting about 4-8 cups every two days. This year I have made 36 pints of blueberry jam and frozen another 12 pints for later use. I am adopting a slow but steady approach to this planting.
That same border has two 20 foot sections of blackberries and I separated the blackberries and the blueberries by eight plum trees. The long term intent is to place my expanding honey bee hives into that ditch. See attached.
