A Blueberry Orchard in the Garden
For growing blueberry plants you need to have moisture-retentive, acid soil that has a pH level between 5 and 6. They will grow best in a sunny, open area of the garden or they can grow in an area with partial shade. In the northern regions of the United States the wild blueberry bushes should be protected from the cold winds. Blueberry bushes can be grown in containers if alkaline soil is the only thing available. You will need to fill your containers with an acid based or peat based compost without lime added to it.

A Solar Bird Bath for the Garden
Many of the solar bird baths are self-contained which means they already have the solar panels integrated into the unit. Other bird baths have solar panels that are separate from the bath itself but are attached by a wire. The self-contained solar bird bath will need to be placed in the sun in order for the panel to absorb the energy of the sun. The other units can be placed anywhere you want including the shade as long as the solar panel itself is in the sun and receives sunlight.
