Today we're diving into the world of blueberry care. If you've been following us for a while, you know just how much we adore our blueberries. But man, those weeds! We've tried everything from flaming to wood chips, but those pesky weeds keep coming back. So, we're trying out some new techniques using weed fabric and specialized fertilizer, and we're taking you along for the ride. It's early March, and it's prime time for blueberry care, so let's get started! We'll walk you through our process and share some handy tips and tricks we've picked up along the way. And stick around because we've got some exciting plans for expanding our orchard space with strawberries, asparagus, and grapevines. It's all about sustainable farming and organic gardening here, so come join us on this homesteading adventure!

About 25 years ago, I planted 2 blueberry bushes in our yard. I simply said to them that they were on their own, and if they grew, they grew and if they died, they died. Those jokers took off like crazy! We built a chicken wire and 2x4 cage around them, because the birds were having a party eating our berries. Those bushes need to be trimmed every other year, and just those 2 bushes give us anywhere form 10-15 gallons of berries each year! I don't even remember the names of them, but the only thing we have ever "fed" them is mulch. I have never added fertilizer or acid of any kind, and they keep exploding with berries every year. We are so blessed.

Strawberries make good ground cover under asparagus. they keep the weeds down and the asparagus shades them in the heat of summer when they get crispy. Glad to see Stephan Sobkowiak commented. He uses weed barrier under his orchard trees and does tuck the edges.

Having laid miles of mulch mostly with a small plow, there are a few points that come to mind. Lay mulch tight, have the least amount of seams possible (wind will eventually get under the seams as wood chips decompose), get your drip line under the mulch, lay mulch along the bed rather than across (you could prune heavily before laying mulch, unrolll a length, bury or pin one side the figure out where to make the hole). End result: it will dramatically lower your maintenance but make it hard to add organic matter under. When needing to repair pulled up mulch we used a square spade that we dull and tucked it in as you show.

If you go back and look at that photo you posted from the big orchards, they are using two pieces of fabric. They cut a wedge shape out for each bush and tuck in around it. The second piece also has a wedge, but it comes in from the other side, so there is an overlap. That might be an easier way of doing it. Plus, genius idea using the torch to cut the fabric! ETA - the machine is called a mulch layer. They even make horse-drawn versions for Amish farmers.

The machine has a part that digs a narrow trench. The soil naturally goes to the top side of the trench. Another part of the machine , as it unrolls the plastic edge into the trench and then an other part of the machine drags along and drags the soil into the trench, the soil that was deposited on the edge of the trench. So the trench, fabric, and soil create a tucked in look.

Also, I started 12 crowns of asparagus (I think it’s called Martha Washington) last year. It has all taken off and we have asparagus coming up this year. I read it’s best not to harvest for a couple years to let it get established.

I think you have come up with a first, but it looks amazing. We found a gadget called Staple Ease. It's a wonderful back saver. A little costly but I saved up, and it's definitely worth it. It works with pretty much and length staples. I get metal hangers from the meat market and cut them to make two long staples. Then I staple the outside inward. It holds well. The stubborn weeds find their way through the staple holes, but they're usually easy to pull. If I were just doing rows, I like the edger idea better, because no staple holes.

If you are getting blueberries (obviously you are lol) and they taste good I would just test your soil and put it in you book and then if they seem to be lacking in the future you have a base line for what YOUR plants clearly like. Dont change what is clearly working I would just use what you have now as a baseline to keep them at. Just because Fred down the road needs his berries at a certain PH doesnt mean you do. You guys have a great base cause I saw what you harvested last year. Keep shooting for the level you have. Scratch that I just the results lol I would def do the sulfur and test again

I am not a big fan of landscape fabric, there are lots of weeds with agressive roots that are hard to fight, but with covering with something solid is not a long term solution, becuase it will finally find the way on the sun, and you have hard time gettng all the roots out, because they are under the fabric. I found out that cardboard and woodchips slow down the weeds, but you need to pull them out anyway, they are just weaker so it is easier. More roots you are able to pull out the longer it takes to regrow.

Only if you have very acidic soil. Wood ashes are very alkaline.

We put up a temp electric fence around it in the fall, and leave it up until spring.

Do not put any kind of mulch on top of the fabric because weeds will grow in it. Believe me I learned that mistake.

Todd there is a tool to lay fabric, but it is large scale. KZfaq Veggie Boys. Farm lays biodegradable sheet for corn, pretty slick. Look under their corn planting last year to see it in action. Envy your berry patch! Best of luck for good harvest this year.
