Blueberries in Woodchips?

In my part of the world, we have lowbush blueberries that grow wild. They can be found all over the place but I noticed that the thickest, biggest areas of these plants happen to be where the loggers have come in and felled all the trees.

They chip all the branches and stuff, using it as a driving surface and the excess they spread out from the roads. The blueberry seeds make their way there and they grow directly in the woodchips.

After seeing this, I've decided to try growing cultivated blueberries in nothing but woodchips from spruce and pine which is what the loggers are going after.

I'll post updates here as things develop, and share with the community any discoveries we make.

That makes sense.

Pine needles anyway are known to be relatively acidic, and blueberries prefer a more acidic soil (ph 4.0 - 5.3 according to a quick search). So I would assume the bark and wood incorporated would also contribute to the ph in a beneficial way to the blueberries. Plus it's mulch and organic material. Then the trees are cleared to give lots of sunlight, and you've got a recipe for success. I love the idea of copying an observation with the mindset of an experiment! I hope your hypothesis is correct and you experience similar results. I would only suggest that you try to include bark and needles in your woodchip mix.
