11 Planning the Garden henandhammock.co.uk countryliving.com savewater.com.au Environmental Variables Sun exposure Full sun Water inches per week Air flow Recommended spacing Soil Well-drained Ideal soil composition Optimum ph = Blueberries ph
12 Collecting a Soil Sample When? Perennial crops before planting & every 3 rd year Where? Planting areas Take at depth of plant roots Avoid unusual areas Locations where soil differs dramatically from other areas
13 Fertilizing Fruits Amend soil before planting, based on soil test: Lime Sulfur Nutrients Fertilizer amounts are determined by: Type of fruit Age of fruit plant Presence or absence of a fruit crop In general, fertilizers are applied as growth begins in the spring
14 Planning the Garden naturalyards.com agricultureguide.org grandforksherald.com Overcoming poor soil conditions Amendments Compost Cover Crops Raised beds Mulch Conserve moisture Prevent soil compaction Prevent rotting of fruit Suppress weeds
15 nogmoseedbank.wordpress.com Planning the Garden Choosing fruit cultivars RESOURCE: MU G6005 Fruit Cultivars for Home Plantings Always consider hardiness Always consider disease resistance Consider adaptation to Missouri Consider the use of the fruit
16 Weed Control Effects of weeds Compete for resources Water Nutrients Sunlight Lower crop yields Interfere with cultural practices; harvesting Provide alternate hosts for pathogens & insect
17 Weed Control Don t delay! Remove weeds when they are less than 1 tall and remove roots, too! Mulching- straw, leaves, black polyethylene plastic, grass clippings, wood chips (nontreated) work well Chemicals- READ directions! BE careful! The label is the law!
18 Small Fruit IPM Learn to identify problems Dispose of crop residue (leftovers) Destroy wild fruit plants that harbor pests Use resistant cultivars Purchase healthy planting stock Use limited chemicals if necessary
19 Small Fruit IPM Spotted wing drosophila Pest of blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry Monitor populations with traps Spray to manage
20 Pruning Pruning pruning is an important annual job shaping plants strong framework correct problems when to prune Dormant season Growing season
21 Training and Pruning Equipment Pruner Lopper Saw
