Mulching Blueberries
Our blueberry bushes are mulched once a year, after they are pruned.
Mulching helps:
-
Decrease weed growth
-
Increase the soil moisture
-
Decrease the soil temperature in the summer months.
-
Soil composition (by increasing the organic matter)
-
Decrease erosion
Mulching is important for blueberry bushes since their root system is shallow and lies close to the soil surface.
