Add this to the soil and the blueberry will be overwhelmed with berries
Some summer residents grow blueberries on their plots.
Of course, the berry is very healthy and also tasty. But the plant requires special care.
Since it naturally grows in acidic soils, similar conditions must be created for successful cultivation.
The first feeding should be done in early spring – before flowering begins.
The second feeding is the time when the berry setting process is underway.
Experienced gardeners who have experience working with blueberries advise using fertilizers with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus for the first feeding.
In particular, ammonium sulfate is considered a good option - it not only provides the plant with nitrogen, but also acidifies the soil.
The second feeding is fertilizers with increased potassium and phosphorus content. They will help improve the quality of berries.
To maintain the soil acidity necessary for blueberries, you can use coniferous litter or high-moor peat (when planting and as mulch).
Mineral fertilizers with sulfur are also recommended, in particular potassium sulfate or iron sulfate.
It is necessary to constantly renew the layer of mulch made of bark or pine needles in order to retain moisture and maintain soil acidity.
You also need to water the plant regularly, but try to avoid over-watering.
In early spring, sanitary pruning is desirable – we get rid of damaged and old shoots.
