Berry Patch Yield and Care Report by Emma Clearwaters
The late frosts reduced early blossoms but left a patch that produced larger berries. In the second week of berry time, warm weather and daily showers sped ripening to eight to eleven gallons daily. We harvested seventy four gallons from a small area, with eight to ten quarts spoiled. The berries were very good in size and quality, some as large as peaches in circumference. Estimated yield reached about 4 600 quarts per acre. The bed avoided mulching last winter and spring. future approach suggests light mulching with straw or leaves and careful spacing. Space two feet apart across beds, dig out alternate spaces, spade or plow, and mulch with manure free of seeds. Use commercial fertilizer if available, otherwise manure plus unleached wood ashes thickly sown over rows. Keep weeds out, remove loose material, and lay straw in vacant rows to suppress weeds and protect plants. avoid heavy packing to prevent winter kill.
