Blueberries can often be found in garden plots.

According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the crop owes its popularity to its healthy and tasty berries.

However, to get a decent blueberry harvest, you will have to try.

First of all, it is worth noting the importance of choosing quality planting material. If the sprouts you buy are weak and sickly in appearance, they are unlikely to take root, therefore, there can be no talk of baskets of berries.

In addition, take care in advance to arrange a drainage system in the beds where you plan to plant the bush.

The area should also be cleared of foreign crops and weeds - this step will help protect blueberries from pests that often start in dead leaves.

Finally, do not forget to treat the plantings with fungicides. This should be done in spring and autumn.

This recommendation is related to the fact that the main danger to the plant is fungus, so it is worth resorting to such a procedure even if the blueberry feels great.
