In spring, blueberries need fertilizer.
In this article, we will tell you how to properly feed blueberries with the onset of spring.
What to feed blueberries in spring
Ammonium sulfate or nitroammophoska is best suited for feeding blueberries in spring.
These fertilizers can be purchased at gardening stores.
This type of fertilizer partially reduces the reaction of the soil solution.
It is especially important to use on carbonate soils, where after adding sulfur to lower the pH, the reaction may level out somewhat over time.
Before feeding blueberries, water the bushes generously and sprinkle them with peat or mulch, such as pine cones or sawdust.
Any acid will do to acidify water. Lemon or oxalic acid should be diluted at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 10 liters of water, table vinegar - 100 milliliters per 10 liters of water.
Nevertheless, the best electrolyte for acid batteries is diluted sulfuric acid.
What should you not fertilize blueberries with
Do not fertilize blueberries with ash, chicken manure, manure, or compost.
They make the soil more alkaline, mycorrhiza cannot live in such conditions, and the plant remains without nutrients.
