Many people ask if they can grow blueberries on their own land. If your climate is suitable and you meet the following basic conditions, you can grow blueberries:
_ Land conditions:
The land where blueberries are planted should be loose soil, loam or sandy soil with good drainage. The terrain below 10 degree is flat and gentle, and the low-lying land which is easy to accumulate water should be avoided.
The optimum soil pH for planting blueberries is between 4.0 and 5.5, and the soil organic matter content is about 10% (the minimum should not be less than 5%). If the soil pH value is high (no more than 7.0) and the soil organic matter is low, it can be adjusted by improving the soil.
_ Irrigation water:
The pH value of irrigation water shall be below 7.5, the salt content in the water shall not exceed 0. 1%, and the chloride ion content shall not exceed 300mg/kg.
_ Soil improvement materials:
Peat, crop straw, rice husk, wheat husk, leaves, sawdust and other crushed and fermented soil improvement materials are rich.
_ Traffic conditions:
Planting areas should have convenient traffic conditions.
◆ Necessary conditions
In addition to the above basic conditions, correct variety selection and sufficient financial guarantee are necessary conditions for the success of blueberry planting.
_ Select suitable and valuable blueberry varieties.
There are many kinds of blueberries, and people who are new to blueberries can't tell them apart. If the variety selection is improper (such as the confusion between the northern and southern varieties), the yield and economic benefits will be seriously affected, and the grain harvest will be dangerous. At present, many varieties of blueberry seedlings sold in China have incorrect names. Please choose the correct variety with detailed information for planting.

_ Adequate financial guarantee
Blueberry is a high-tech agricultural project with high input and high output, including seedling, soil improvement, fertilization and water-saving irrigation. Usually, the initial investment per mu is about 7 ~ 8 thousand yuan. If the funds are insufficient and the management is not in place, it will seriously affect the growth and overall yield of trees and fail to achieve the expected results.
◆ Technical conditions
Blueberry planting is an agricultural high-tech project, and technical support is indispensable from planting, garden management to harvesting and processing. If you don't do it according to the technical requirements, or any link is not in place, it will cause unexpected losses.
Therefore, it is very important to entrust a competent and responsible technical support department to engage in blueberry industry.

While providing high-quality seedlings, Lan Mei also provides all-round technical services and whole-process management services for growers, including the specific planting scheme of blueberries and various technical guidance and training before, during and after planting.
