Blueberry Raised Beds Part 2
Seven boxes are finished. We realized that the seven won't all fit in one row (because I want to space them according to their full grown size). So we're splitting the row into two, and of course, we want them to be identical...so off to purchase one more blueberry. Thanks Craigslist, we found a Bluecrop to bring home!
Today we're putting together the last box and filling with dirt. We're (aka-husband) removing the sod and digging about 12" just to loosen the soil underneath (even though blueberries have shallow roots).
So...I can't measure! I really want enough room for a 4 foot pathway between full grown bushes...duh! That means TEN feet inbetween the rows! First photo...four feet between. Second photo...ten feet between. Hooray for recalculations!
We put in composted soil and lots of peat...here's hoping these guys are happy!

Blueberries...yum, yum! It's amazing all the projects your family is doing this year, how fun. Well, lots of work but the rewards are beyond measure in many ways.
ReplyDeleteI think they will be very happy, because you are their caretakers!
