Blueberry – Proper Soil Preparation
Q: How should I prepare my soil for blueberry plants. It is sandy not clay.
A: The key is to make the blueberry location completely hospitable. For each plant, thoroughly till a cubic foot of Canadian peat moss into an area four feet wide and twelve inches deep. Plant in the center. Space the plants six feet apart. Mulch with bark chips and pay special attention to watering during the first summer. You’ll harvest gallons of fruit!
