An Ode to Upside Down Blueberries

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Whether you’ve heard about upside down blueberry growing yet or not, it doesn’t really matter. Because you will in this write-up. Let it be known that upside down blueberry growing is by FAR the best method of growing blueberries and any other type of similar crops that benefit from perfect sunlight, good air moisture and pressure and a lot of love (See: strawberries, tomatoes, etc).

The first batch of blueberries that you amass from your first attempt at growing them will ensure that you continue to grow them in such a way for the remainder of your life. It’s practically a fact!

Not only is it easy, it also manages to take out a lot of the stress that comes along with growing pretty much anything in the actual ground. If you’ve ever done even a bit of gardening or have a full-blown green thumb, you know that the soil and Earth itself can be a very finicky thing. And by finicky, we mean it can turn you into a raving, cursing lunatic!

If you’ve always loved to garden but wished you could grow things a lot easier — especially in the winter and early spring months — and maybe do so from the comforts (and sometimes warmth!) of your very own home, then upside down blueberry growing is for you. Heck, upside down growing in GENERAL is for you! So what are you waiting for? Hop on the bandwagon today! You’ll most certainly be thanking us for it later!

Upside Down Blueberries 101

Monday, March 1st, 2010

If you’re in any way connected to the underground world of home gardening or fancy yourself someone with a green thumb, then you’ve very likely heard about upside down blueberries recently. If you haven’t then, well, this article is still for you too, because in the interests of giving a basic overview of what they are, we’ve decided to break it all down for anyone who’s confused about the whole system.

Basically, people over complicate the entire subject — upside down blueberries are just that — blueberries that you grow upside down. The benefits of doing this are obvious to anyone who’s every fretted over soil, sunlight, air circulation and/or air moisture while doing normal gardening. Growing upside down blueberries ensures that the stressors that accompany the aforementioned things are practically non-existent! That is because, all you really need to do is find a well lit (by sunlight… duh!) spot somewhere in your house and garden and hang the blueberry crop right there. Water it daily and give it some normal gardener care and BOOM! You’re good to go and will soon have delicious, plump and juicy blueberries on your hands. Maybe even literally! ;)

Although it might sound a bit peculiar, the best way to research upside down blueberries is to actually grow some yourself. Seriously! It’s not that hard whatsoever and it is most certainly the type of thing that you can “learn by doing”. So what are you waiting for? Go and get your hands on some upside down blueberry growing material and learn what all the fuss is about today!
