Its proper blessing is 'Ha'adama'
After checking occurences in google...
Another variant, used as a short-term by religeous jews, has to do with the various blessings (thanksgivings) for various foods.
Orthodox jews are very cautious as to what the proper blessing is for a certain food:
"Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheynu Melech Ha’olam, boreh pri ha’etz"
(You are blessed, O God, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the tree)
is used for fruits that growon trees (and their processed derivatives).
whereas for earth/ground level fruits, grains and vegetables and their outcomes you should only use
"Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheynu Melech Ha’olam, boreh pri ha’adamah"
or in short -
"HA'ADAMA"
So - when someone asks for instance what the proper blessing is
for "Skippy" peanut butter (before you eat it)
The answer by HALACHAH is...
ברכתו - האדמה
(Its proper blessing is "Ha'adamah")

Comment: "Dear Ron,
Thanks for the answer. Right on the mark! Like you, at first, I read this as בִּרְכָתו האדמה and it didn't make sense.
Thanks! !תודה רבה

The earth has blessed him
At first it looked to me like an error since I've read it as
בִּרְכָתו האדמה
[Birkato Ha'adama]
and
בִּרְכָתוֹ (His blessing)
is very awkward preceding
האדמה (The earth).
However - If we read it as
בֵּרַכְתוֹ האדמה
[Berahto Ha'adama]
בֵּרַכְתוֹ short for ברכה אותו = has blessed him,
tyen it is proper Hebrew (though biblical rather than spoken).
