    Deep, low pH mulch like peat moss, pine needles or well aged sawdust conserves water and minimizes soil water fluctuations. Water blueberry plants during the day. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Give them at least 1" per week during growing season and up to 4" per week during fruit ripening.

    A gentleman that grows them for a living recommends pruning after picking the berries in an upside pyramid shape. I never water mine, except in drought conditions.
