How to Grow Berries

Berries thrive in full sun, steady moisture, and mulch; plant after frost in soil that drains well. Berries root best in loam with compost; space bushes 1–1.5 m and canes 60–90 cm. Berries vary by pH: blueberries 4.5–5.5; raspberries/strawberries 5.5–6.5; all need 6–8 hours and winter pruning. Stick around—we’ll map varieties, feeding, and pests so your patch earns a spot on the breakfast table.
