I am an expert with blueberry bushes! I bought a bunch (20? 24?) from the State Dept of Environmental Conservation and planted them in the special tubes that allow light and water while protecting them from predators and certain insects pests. They cost a lot of money and effort. I’d like to say it was worth it. But….
They lasted one year. Deer figured out they could lean on the tubes and break the 1“x1” support sticks. that made the tubes fall, completely exposing the the bushes. Every one was eaten to the ground.
Now whenever I start thinking about growing more I just hit myself in the head, toss some extra cash into the toilet, and flush. It takes a lot less time and effort.
Oh just to add to the insult. After the deer debacle one of the tubes was still standing! Why? A hive of yellow jackets had set up shop inside the tube. I set it on fire.
