BLUEBERRIES 
You should be able to grow your own blueberries if you have a spot where 
there is plenty of moisture but well drained, light sandy or gravel soil. Peat 
should also be worked into the soil generously and a hand full of alum or sul- 
phur applied in a circle a few inches from the plant. Two or more varieties 
should be planted as they are not self-pollinating, Plant 3 to 4 ft. apart.
