soo… did anyone have success growing these around the mediterranean sea? if yes, what did you do to your soil? and where did you place it in terms of sun/light?
We are in Turkey, Aegean Coast, and finally after some years of looking out for it, we got two bushes of European Blueberry. The issue is, they call it “Yaban Mersin” here, “Wild Blueberry”, but they also call myrtus communis “yaban mersin”, of which we now unintendedly have 4 beautiful bushes that are native here and grow well.
But the European Blueberry likes acidic, always wet soil, the opposite of what we have here. so anyways this will just be an experiment, not intended to large scale work against the natural environment.
we’ve got the water, we’ve got horse and chicken manure, we’ve got compost, we’ve got the neutral-to-limey natural soil, sand, we’ve got coffee leftovers, vinegar, we’ve got lots of pines / pine needles / also wood chips of pines or olive/oak/pistaccio/wild pear if helpful..?
how do i artificially build an acidic soil corner, preferrably with natural ingredients?
and should i find a north side shadowy spot? or will the plant not mind getting some serious sun?
