Our farm now has a new blueberry patch! We are so excited to taste those first sweet but tart berries. We chose three varieties, Northland, Patriot, and Northblue. At the nursery I selected plants with some flowers already blooming so I knew I’d get some berries this year.
To plant blueberry bushes, we selected a full sun location and got to work removing the sod and tilling the rich soil. We added compost and bat guano, planted the bushes, and mulched them heavily with a layer of crushed leaves.
The plants are still small, which also helped make them more affordable.
