I have 4 blueberry plants. They like acid soil. I use sawdust as a mulch and rhododendron fertilizer. However, I rarely get to taste the fruits of my labor, The local deer usually manage to eat most of the berries when they prune my bushes.

I live in the middle of Georgia pines and the soil is extremely acid. I am looking out the windows at 50, head high plants that have produced heavily for the last 20 years or so.

And my favorite recipe is equal parts whipped cream and marshmallow cream....with double the blueberries and chopped pecans to taste. We always had it on the 4th of July garnished with strawberries.

I have a deer problem where I live, along with the lyme disease that they carry. If they attract deer, maybe I should kill the bushes?

I had two blueberry bushes at my last house. They are the easiest thing to grow. I never had to use insecticide. I used pine needles as mulch. I never had a problem with deer, but if I didn't put netting over the bushes when the fruit began to appear then the birds would strip it clean in no time.
