Blueberry. Where is the best place to plant blueberries?
Igor Bakun runs the YouTube channel “Academy of Mundane Skills”, where he shares practical tips with viewers. In the last video, he said that he has been growing blueberries for 10 years and has never let him down.
Blueberries are our best fruit. Reliable, productive, easy to grow. Delicious, tasty berries can be harvested in a minute, and abundantly fruiting bushes provide food for many months.
It is worth paying a little more attention to it when planting. Bakun emphasizes that when choosing a place for cultivation, remember that blueberry bushes like to expand. It is best to plant it in seedlings, maintaining a distance of one meter. Bakun adds to half-meter-long holes were lined with acidic peat (about 150 liters per bush).
Growing blueberries for the lazy. A gardener shares his proven tricks
Igor Bakun admitted that he prefers lazy people when growing blueberries. It requires more commitment when establishing a plantation, but in the long run it pays off and does not require frequent maintenance of the plants. It involves planting bushes in one larger ditch (half a meter wide), instead of several separate holes. The benefits include:
- A larger amount of peat will result in greater acidification of the soil.
- Less need for watering. A larger amount of peat will retain moisture for longer.
- Increased mulching efficiency.
According to the gardener, the best fertilizer is slurry made from manure or chicken manure. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
