Planting Rules for Blueberry Garden

Blueberry is a swamp plant, so it loves sour and wet.

poorly rooted in the new place. If you provide good
conditions for the growth of this crop, then get the first crop of berries already
three years after planting blueberries in open ground.

In order for blueberries to take root well, you need to pick for
her the correct composition of the soil. The soil must be sour or
subacid, with a PH level of 4 to 6.

For further growth, blueberries need a large area, so
a planting pit 40 cm deep and wide is dug under each bush
80 cm. It is filled with garden vermiculite or perlite for one
one third to provide water drainage. Despite the fact that blueberries
loves frequent watering, with the stagnation of water her roots rot.

The composition of the soil for planting blueberries in open ground

Blueberries grow in natural conditions in high peat,
therefore, the landing pit can only be filled with peat, but better
prepare the soil mixture. Soil for planting garden
Blueberries should consist of:

• from high peat;

• rotting spruce fir branches;

• soil from under coniferous trees.

The volume of peat in the soil mixture should be at least 150 liters,
considering the volume of the landing pit. The percentage of peat in the soil
mixtures – 50%.

Softwood sawdust provides a soil mixture of phosphorus and potassium –
the microelements necessary for the best rooting of a sapling. If a

use the brand-name drug “Radifarm”.

It is a rooting stimulator based on protozoan cells.

Due to frequent irrigation, the acidity of the soil, over time,
decreases, therefore in a landing hole before landing garden
Blueberries add the so-called “Acidifying agents” of the soil

In preparing the site for planting garden blueberries use
sulfur based products. Typically, such agents are

soil to a depth of 15 – 20 cm.

The amount of acidifier is calculated according to its instructions.
application. When watering sulfur will dissolve in water and increase
soil acidity.

The introduction of such fertilizers under the bush blueberries spend twice in
year: in the spring, after the threat of spring frosts has passed, and in
September, before preparing the plant for the winter.

warm the soil to a temperature of + 18 ° C. Instead of ordinary water you can
use root growth stimulator solution to
rapid rooting of seedlings.

How to plant garden blueberries in open ground

Like all heather cultures, garden blueberries are very bad.

garden plot only suitable seedlings with a closed root
by the system. Blueberry roots should occupy the entire volume of the pot.

It is better to transplant the seedling into the prepared pit using the transshipment method.

Blueberries are transferred to the prepared soil mixture. Bush
fall asleep with dry peat, deepening the seedling by 10 cm.

After planting, the soil is once again well spilled with warm water. Volume
water for each plant is 5 liters. In the water you can dissolve
potassium permanganate or biological fungicide for disinfection
ground. The solution of potassium permanganate should be saturated purple
colors.

Garden blueberry planting time

Blueberries can be planted twice a year: in mid-May,
when the threat of spring frost has passed, and in early September, while
autumn frosts did not occur. Autumn planting is not acceptable for
of all berry crops, but the growth of the blueberry root system is very
fast, especially if you add a root growth stimulator to the soil.
Therefore, seedlings will have time to take root before the onset of frost.

Planted Blueberry Bush

Blueberry care after planting

Blueberry can withstand temperatures up to -15 ° C, so in
a young sapling
pegs that are strung with agrofiber to cover the plant
for winter.

In order to avoid stagnation of water, young bushes mulch, and watering
once a week. As mulch can be used
mowed grass, small pebbles or coniferous spruce branches. Spring to soil
make rotted cow dung and magnesium fertilizer.

How to get blueberry harvest

Blueberry needs cross pollination to form
ovary, so at the site you need to plant at least two bushes of this
crops, preferably different varieties. Blueberry berries ripen
uneven, so the harvest process is stretched over time.

The formation of the ovary begins at the end of May. In this period
Blueberries are covered with a net from birds, and potash and
magnesium fertilizer. Blooming all varieties of blueberries
occurs approximately at one time, sometimes with a difference of five
days

Harvesting from one bush usually lasts a month, dates
ripening depends on the variety of blueberry garden. Planting plants
varieties of different terms of ripening will allow harvesting berries
from mid July to late September.

Harvesting blueberries

Blueberry varieties for ripening berries
are:

• early (“Blue gold”, “Northland”);

• medium (“Bonus”, “Duke”);

• late (“Blue crop”, “Berkeley”).

The virtue of garden blueberries is that this culture
practically not susceptible to viral and fungal diseases,
therefore, one prophylactic biological treatment is sufficient.
