Best containers/pots for blueberries
I've never grown blueberries before and looking for some advice/experiences.
A local hydro store near me sells premium nursery pots quite cheaply. By premium pots I mean those very heavy duty (almost a rubber-like feel) black pots. The ones I am referring to are like this: http://www.hydroponics.net/i/137318. These are not the thin flimsy ones which are also sold as nursery pots. I've always liked these heavier ones because they are quite wide, rather than tall and narrow, and thus suit plants with wide root systems, which blueberries have. The problem is between their black color and how thick/heavy these are, they really hold heat. Notably more so than your average plastic plant pot. Has anyone successfully used these with blueberries? Or any other berry plant for that matter? I know plenty of people grow in black pots without an issue, but I've never seen any specific experiences with blueberries or similar plants in these heat-holding pots. |
