Blueberries can be grown in the garden. To do this, it is important to know some secrets.
What soil is needed for blueberries
Blueberries prefer acidic soil - pH 4.5-5.5.
If your garden soil is not acidic enough, you can increase the value with sulfuric acid.
You can also add berries and organic matter to the soil before planting.
For example, humus, pine needles, conifer bark.
Rotted manure is not suitable for growing blueberries.
How to Grow Blueberries
The soil should remain slightly moist during the growing season.
At the end of winter, you need to fertilize the plant with nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
For example, ammonia sulfate works well.
Also important for growing is mulching in the fall and winter so that the plants can survive the cold.
Nutrients also help blueberries grow.
You can use mulch made from sand, tree bark, rotted compost or manure.
Poor blueberry growth may be due to alkaline soil or nutrient deficiencies.
Fertilize blueberries with fertilizers containing phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, calcium and nitrogen.
