When to plant blueberry? Remember one thing
Blueberries are planted in two dates – in autumn in September or October and in spring in March and April. The plant is not difficult to care for, but to obtain beautiful and sweet fruits, it is worth performing mycorrhiza. What is this? Mycorrhiza is nothing more than a symbiosis between plant roots and fungi in the soil, i.e. the exchange of nutrients between the plant and fungi. To support this process, it is worth making a mycorrhizal vaccine. We do it from March to May. We buy mycorrhiza at a garden store. To apply it to plants, it is enough to make holes around it and introduce mycorrhiza into the soil. After such treatment, we will enjoy abundant and delicious fruits.
