How to Grow Sweet Blueberries: Here's What to Do with the Soil - 3 Important Steps

Blueberries are not always tasty and sweet.

Often the berries that are picked are too small and sour.

How can such an outcome be avoided? How can a summer resident ensure that he does not have to conclude that his efforts were wasted?

The answer is simple: the soil needs to be treated in a certain way.

The corresponding recommendations were shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Adjust acidity

Blueberries "don't like" alkaline soil. Acidic soil is suitable for the plant.

To make the pH level suitable, you need to use a product such as colloidal sulfur.

Apply fertilizer

First of all, we are talking about "organics". Blueberry bushes will "react" well to rotted manure.

Thanks to this fertilizer, the soil will become looser. Conditions will appear for the formation of large and tasty fruits on the plant.

Cover with mulch

You can also improve the quality of the soil under blueberries using mulch.

There are two types of mulch that are ideal for the plant: sawdust and pine bark.
