Test Your Soil

If you already have a thriving garden it is safe to assume that your soil is up to snuff as far as acidity and pH levels are concerned. If you aren't sure about the quality of your soil, take a sample to your local gardening supply for testing for a small fee. Add supplements and fertilizer to your soil if necessary. Alternately, purchase a soil testing kit and test your soil at home.

Start With Blueberry Shoots

Purchase a small blueberry plant. Cut shoots toward the bottom of the bush for young shoots. Dig around the shoot in a four-inch radius and dig below the roots. Use a spade to lift the entire shoot, roots and all, from the soil.

Transplant the Shoots

Dig a small hole about four to six inches deep in an area with full sunlight and away from large trees or other bushes that can cast shadows over your plant and hinder its growth. Place your blueberry bush shoot in the hole, and add plenty of water until the roots and soil are completely damp. Cover up the roots and pat the soil down firmly enough to prevent the soil from blowing away.

Add Mulch

Spread some mulch around the base of your plants, and keep it well-watered. Mulch adds extra nutrients to the soil and helps it to retain moisture, two things that are vital to the growth of any blueberry bush.

Continue Maintenance

Water the bushes regularly to keep weeds away from your young plants. Blueberry bushes produce fruit in their third year, so although you won't see fruit right away that doesn't mean your bush is not healthy.
