How to grow blueberries in the garden
Blueberries prefer light, acidic, warm soils. Optimal soil acidity pH is from 3.8 to 4.8.
At pH>5.1 you need to add ammonium sulfate to the soil.
Light soils are best for growing berries in the garden.
For example, peat and sand, or a mixture of them.
In addition, all types of blueberries can be grown in containers.
If the variety is tall, use a pot that is at least 18 inches deep.
In addition, you need to provide enough space in the garden to grow the plant.
Choose a place that gets a lot of sun.
It is also important that there are no drafts and good air circulation.
Therefore, you should not thicken blueberries.
The plant needs to be watered abundantly and regularly.
If blueberries are grown in a container, the berries will need more water.
Use mulching to keep the soil moist and cool. You can use wood chips, sawdust or hay for this.
To protect the berries from pests, you can surround the plants with a belt fence.
