Simple way for us to water our blueberries. Our tap water is far to alkaline for blueberries so I fill a 55 gallon barrel full of water and pitch in a gallon of 9% vinegar. This brings our 8.5 - 9.0 pH city water down to around 6.0 pH. I suppose I should add even more to bring the pH down closer to 5.0. Opinions? I just use gravity and a hose to create a siphon from the barrel to the blueberry bed. The barrel is only about a foot higher then the blueberry bed but it seems to be enough. Easy way to get amend 55 gallons of water and soak it in slow.
