Question
are cedar chips bought from lowes good for blueberry mulch?
Also, I planted five blueberry bushes a season ago. One bush has quite a few berry's but the rest only a few. Will time correct that problem?

Answer
Dear Ed,
Hopefully maturity of the bushes will provide more berries in time, but there is also the factor that bees are in short supply, which accounts for a lack of pollination for fruit and vegetables.  The honeybee population is endangered and dwindling.
I don't know about cedar chips that are purchased retail, as I'm not sure what else is present in the way of chemicals.
I wish you well.
Kind Regards,
KD Liz

Expertise

I can answer questions in regard to a "basics" approach to agriculture. My husband and I are Messianic missionaries and live on a hobby farmette. We don't have a pesticide or antibiotic on the place. I can answer questions about a simple agricultural lifestyle that affords great independence and abundant tranquility.

Experience

Our agricultural methods are Bible based, we use the term Orthodox organic. We live what we teach.
