Original Blueberry Box in 2023
This was the first blueberry box we had, a 4 by 8 box. The bush to the right has always dominated the box and produced a ton of blueberries over the last 5 or 6 years. Fortunately, the other two bushes in the box are starting to establish themselves too making this a very productive box.
Note that blueberries need well-drained soil. There was a gutter problem resulting in one of the bushes getting soaked. Much of one bush died as a result but is now recovering well.

Large 4 by 12 Box Filled with Blueberries
I asked my wife if we could have too many blueberry bushes. The answer was no. So, I decided to convert this large box to six various blueberry types in 2023. Some of the plants are doing better than others, but already by 2025 overall they were producing a lot of fruit.
Note the drip watering system used.

Second Blueberry Box
This was the start of our second blueberry box started in 2022. It's a 3 by 6 box so only two plants seemed appropriate.
These are doing ok. However, this is a raised bed on concrete with a wood bottom. Thus, the drainage wasn't good. I reduced the watering and drilled more holes in the wood bottom. They are now doing better but not producing a lot of blueberries.
