Hi All:

Is Rosemary a good companion for blueberries? I relocated some blueberry plants to a new raised bed. They weren't doing well where they were at.

I have some extra room in the bed and would like to relocate some rosemary there.

Good or bad idea?

Thanks
BB

Blueberries need an acidic soil, Ph 5+/- 0.5. What are the pH requirements for Rosemary.

Basil likes low pH. Carrots, tomatoes, sorrel, winter squash, rhubarb, peppers, cukes, corn, eggplant, dill, garlic, melon, cauliflower all can take acidity down to 5.5.

But the lowest are potatoes and peanuts and (I think) strawberries. They love acidity.
