One of the most important conditions for cultivation of cranberry and blueberry is acquisition of qualitative planting stock. There is no sense to plant the plants brought from local swamps they will not take root. To receive good harvests of berries, it is necessary to buy saplings of the American grades or hybrids. Plants with the closed root system will better take root. Both blueberry, and cranberry are placed on solar sites.
Landing of cranberry
The distance between saplings of cranberry has to be, about, 25-30 cm. In 2-3 years there will be first berries, but they will be much larger than those that grow on swamps. The bed for cranberry is prepared according to the following scheme: on perimeter establish boards, take out soil, cover bottom of future bed roofing material. That moisture did not accumulate, in roofing material do several cuts. On bottom spread coniferous debris, well spill it, stamp and place saplings. If landing is made in the fall, then, it is desirable, plants to cover with fir-tree fir twigs that have not frozen.
Landing of blueberry
To receive blueberry harvests, it is necessary to put 2 different grades for repollination nearby. As well as for cranberry, for this culture sour soil which can be taken their coniferous forest is necessary. Besides, also riding peat will approach. It is on sale in garden shops. The bed for blueberry is preparing by the following principle: on borders put boards, take out soil. But roofing material, unlike cranberry beds, is not covered completely on bottom, it sheathe only bed boards. On bottom fill riding peat and soil from the coniferous forest, mix and stamp. Blueberry put at distance 50-60 cm between plants. After landing the saplings water.
That these plants annually yielded good harvests of berries, it is necessary to create them the corresponding conditions. Care for plants consists in regular waterings and also it is required to add, at least in year, sour soil.
