The family raised blueberries, which not only beautified the environment, but also tasted fresh fruit, which was a very popular family planting project. The best time to grow blueberries is in the spring, when temperatures are moderate and plants thrive。
Here are some techniques for raising blueberries:
Varieties selection
The choice of blueberry varieties suitable for family cultivation, such as short bushed blueberries or blueberries suitable for container cultivation, is more appropriate for the family environment. The recommended varieties include hareeye blueberries and screech blueberries, which are adaptable, manageable and less environmentally demanding. The blueberries for rabbits are suitable for the south and have a longer maturity period; the blueberries for the south are matured earlier and suitable for balconies. In addition, sharpland and ivan blue are excellent varieties of self-plowing, suitable for a well-lighted and well-ventilated outdoor environment。
Soil preparation
Blueberry soils should be well drained to avoid accumulation, which could be achieved by incorporating materials such as sand and pearl rock. Household farming requires acid soil, with ph values between 4. 5 and 5. 5 the best. Specialized blueberries or home-made acid soils can be purchased on the market。
Methods of cultivation
Ensure that there is sufficient space between blueberries so that they can grow healthy, usually at a distance of 40-60 cm per blueberries. Cultivation should be at the same depth as the original earthball and avoid being too deep or too shallow。
Water
- blueberries are wet, but not water-resistant, and therefore ensure that the soil is moderately humid but not overwatered。
- regular watering can help the blueberry plant to grow healthy, but special care should be taken not to overwater the fruit while it matures。
Fertilizing
Blueberries are not in high demand for fertilizers, and excessive fertilization can cause harm. Appropriate amounts of organic fertilizers or low nitrogen complex fertilizers can be applied in spring and autumn。
Shearing and management
- periodic shearing can promote healthy farming, remove ill and ill branches and maintain ventilation。
- carefully check if blueberries occur and treat them in a timely manner。
Through the above conservation management, you can successfully raise blueberries in your family environment and enjoy the fruits you grow. The principles of environmental protection and sustainable development and the protection of the ecological environment should be observed in the farming process。
