I make my own compost from oak leaves and grass clippings, layered and mixed. I’ll add other stuff sometimes but it makes a rich, worm filled soil for top dressing and amending this red clay soil I have. And triple 8 is my go to garden and all around fertilizer. But the blueberry bushes I go ahead and use a little of the ammonium sulfate it does make a difference in fruit production over just top dressing but the bushes are healthy either way.For several years I've been trying to get closer to organic. But I ran out of mushroom compost last summer and the mushroom farm in Quincy has gone out of business. So I bought a bag of 8/8/8. So far I've used it in my remote gardens, but I guess I'll be using it in the veggie garden this year. A buck a pound for the holly-tone is just too much for my mental wellbeing with as much garden as I have.
