We in kenya here we are blessed Becoz we just started growing blue berries a couple of years ago and I thank God be coz our blue berries are not affected by any insects I feel blessed. We don't spray any insects and no fertilizers only mulching and making sure the ph is controlled.

is it because the local insects havent come to learn of your blueberries yet? what pH range do you keep your blueberries at? I heard they like acid soil

This is like that dude in the frat house that was adamant about having plants in the house started a farm. And I love it.

I wonder if they would consider freezing them for smoothies. Tap into that market. Or turning the firsr harvest into jams that will make a higher profit and can be stored and shipped worldwide without spoilage.

I soaked them in vinegar after picking but they get soggy and are pretty much only good for jam after soaking them. I’d soak a small bowl in vinegar and 100 or more would come floating to the top

@Omegawerewolfx 4 ай бұрын

@@stanleynowak9325 it's not a stupid question. Using natural predators is a cost effective solution. If you have horn worms, you want to attract parasitic wasps to your garden. If you have aphids, you want LadyBugs in your garden. If you have skeeters, you want to have a dragonfly pond. As a vegetable grower I put in the effort to know what I need. Try it out some time.

Sounds like this guy has no business plan or any way of knowing where he wants to be in a few years as a business. Also he sounds like he needs to get more into his dealings as far as the books with profits and losses. He may find that he is wasting a lot of money on stuff and could be more intentional. Eventually it will catch up to their business.

@@bsharp1533A formal education for what? He sells blueberries to grocery stores already and customers come to him and do labor to pick the product. He literally mentions his biggest expense is the electric from the water well.
