I have successfully grown three very productive blueberry bushes from about a foot high to close to ten feet high using only an annual application of ammonium sulfate, which I understand has been taken off the market.
Can anyone recommend a non-nitrate replacement that is as close as possible? Thanks. |

It appears that ammonium sulfate can be purchased online. Here is a link as an example:

I'm not finding any info on it being taken off the market. I bought some last week in a true value hardware store. It's being banned in some middle east countries, as it can be used to make explosives.

If you can find it locally in SC, that is definitely the best way to go. Shipping costs for an online order will probably be more than the cost of the product itself.

Cottonseed meal is a great blueberry fertilizer.
