Blueberry yields can be increased by following fairly simple recommendations.
Wild berries give a rich harvest in summer cottages. It is only important to choose the right variety.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about the mandatory procedures for growing blueberries.
First of all, the place
In addition, in order to choose the most suitable variety for your geographic latitudes, think about creating comfortable conditions for the development of the root system.
The symbiotic fungus on which the plant's development depends requires suitable conditions for life.
One of them is the abundance of sunlight.
Secondly, the soil
Next, take care of the appropriate soil for the bush. Loose and peaty soil is ideal.
Monitor the soil acidity level, which should be 3.3-4.4 pH.
Thirdly, watering
Blueberry roots will develop in conditions of consistently high humidity. But you can't flood the planting site with water.
It is correct to mulch the soil after each abundant watering. Sawdust or pine needles are ideal for this.
