Blueberry planting steps and methods

1. Deep plowing

Before planting blueberries, the soil should be deep-turned and the planting depth should be 20-30 cm. Green manure should also be applied.

2. Planting

Place the blueberry seedlings in the dug holes, then fill and compact the surrounding soil, and water them in time, but it is best not to allow water to accumulate in the soil.

3. Post-maintenance

Blueberry seedlings cannot lack water. They must be watered in time to keep them moist. Also, a layer of straw should be covered on the soil to prevent the blueberry roots from being frozen by low temperatures.
