Blueberries will stop being capricious: 3 rules separate summer residents from a good harvest
There will be tons of berries if you follow simple rules.
Get a solid harvest of raspberries, strawberries, currants and a number of other berry crops.
Blueberries are not on this list only because they require different conditions. Gardeners who harvest a solid crop of berries every year remember 3 rules.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what to pay attention to.
Blueberry roots are nourished by a symbiotic fungus that requires special conditions. The place where the bush grows must have a lot of light.
Loose and peaty soil is needed. You will never be able to grow a solid blueberry harvest in dense soil. The soil should be acidic – pH 3.3-4.4.
The third nuance concerns watering. The fungus will survive and actively develop only in a humid environment. Therefore, after abundant watering, the bushes should be mulched with rotted sawdust or pine needles.
