Today we're going to talk about planting your blueberries.

今天我們'要講講藍莓的種植。

Now, we've got the site all ready and you can see our previous video for information

現在，我們'已經把網站都準備好了，你可以看我們之前的視頻瞭解情況。

on that. Now it's time to put these in the ground. The best time to plant your blueberries

上，。現在是時候把這些放在地裡了。種植藍莓的最佳時間是...

is in the early spring. You don't have to wait until things are too warm. They can go

是在初春時節。你不必等到事情太暖和。他們可以去

in the ground just as soon as you can work that soil up without it being too terribly

在地裡只要你能把土挖起來就可以了，而不至於太可怕

muddy. So wait for the soil to dry out a bit, but that's the time to plant your blueberries.

泥濘。所以要等土壤幹一點，但那是種藍莓的時候'。

Now typically what we get from a nursery is a one or two year old plant. It will be about

現在通常我們從苗圃裡得到的是一兩年的植物。它將是大約

this size, somewhere between a foot and two feet tall with hopefully a nice, good root

這個尺寸，介於一英尺和兩英尺高之間的地方，希望有一個漂亮的，良好的根部。

system down at the bottom. We can buy these either bare root, as you see here, or sometimes

系統在底部。我們可以買到裸根的，就像你在這裡看到的那樣，有時也可以買到。

you can buy them in pots, too, if you're just buying them from a local garden center. It

你可以買他們在盆子裡，太，如果你'只是買他們從當地的花園中心。它

doesn't matter. Both plants will work perfectly well. If you're buying plants in quantity,

不'沒關係。兩種植物都會有很好的效果。如果你'量購買植物。

the bare root is a cheaper way to go.

裸根是一種更便宜的方式。

So with this, we just want to unwrap them when they come wrapped up like this. You can

所以，有了這個，我們就想把它們拆開，當它們這樣包裹起來。你可以

see we've got a nice, fine root system here ready to go. If it looks a little compacted,

看到我們'已經得到了一個很好的，精細的根系這裡準備去。如果它看起來有點緊湊。

don't be afraid to work your fingers in there and loosen things up a bit and get that ready

不要害怕工作你的手指在那裡和鬆動的東西了一下，並得到了準備就緒

to plant and ready to go.

栽種和準備工作。

Now we want to dig a good sized hole for a blueberry plant. You can see here, I've got

現在，我們要為藍莓植物挖一個好大的洞。你可以看到這裡，我'已經得到了。

a ten dollar hole for a five dollar plant. That's exactly what we want to have here.

一個10美元的洞，5美元的工廠。這正是我們想要的。

We're going to take the soil out of there and we're going to blend this soil one to

我們要把土壤從那裡拿出來 我們要把這些土壤混合在一起。

one with some good source of organic matter. I like to use peat moss. It can be a little

一個與一些良好的有機物的來源。我喜歡用泥炭蘚。它可以是一個小

expensive if you're putting a lot of plants in the ground.

昂貴的，如果你'把很多植物在地面。

As we talked about in our previous video, you can also use compost if you like. Just

正如我們在之前的視頻中談到的，如果你喜歡，你也可以使用堆肥。只是

be aware that the PH of the compost may be a little high for blueberries. You want to

請注意，堆肥的PH值對藍莓來說可能有點高。你要

keep this PH about 4.8 to 5.2.

保持這個PH值在4.8到5.2左右。

The soil I've dug out of this hole, I just want to blend it one to one with that peat

這個洞裡的土我已經挖好了，我只想把它和那塊泥炭一一融合在一起。

moss. Just work that peat moss nicely into the soil. And then that is what I'm going

苔蘚。只要把泥炭苔蘚很好的融入到土壤中。然後，這就是我'我要去

to backfill with.

用來回填。

I put my plant in the hole. I spread the roots out a little bit and I want to plant this

我把我的植物放在洞裡。我把根散開一點，我想把這株植物

plant at the same depth it was in the nursery. In other words, I want the soil to come right

植物在苗圃裡的深度是一樣的。換句話說，我希望土壤能正確地進入

up to the top of the plant, maybe just a hair deeper. But we don't need to plant it too

到植物的頂部，也許只是一個頭發深。但我們不需要把它種得太深

terribly deep.

深得可怕。

I'm going to fill a little of this blend back in to get this to the height I want it. Spread

我'要把這個混合的東西填一點回去，讓這個達到我想要的高度。展開

those roots out a bit. Break up any crust that might be at the top. If it's got a little

那些根部出來一點。打破任何硬殼，可能是在頂部。如果它有一個小

crown that's developed at the top, break that down because that can work as a wick and actually

在頂部開發的冠，打破了，因為這可以作為一個燈芯和實際工作。

if that gets above the soil it can actually dry the root system out, acting like a wick

如果得到以上的土壤，它實際上可以 乾燥的根系，像一個燈芯作用

like that.

這樣的。

We break that down, loosen those roots up without tearing them too badly, then backfill

我們把它打碎，把那些根部鬆開，不至於把它們撕得太厲害，然後再回填

with our blend. Add a little more peat moss here. Just backfill with that and just press

與我們的混合。這裡再加一點泥炭蘚。就用它來回填，然後按

that down in place. Make sure the soil is nice and packed around it. We don't want to

那下來的地方。確保土壤是好的和包裝周圍。我們不'想

leave that part of the plant popped up, like I said, because that will dry it out.

讓植物的那部分彈出，就像我說的， 因為這會使它乾燥。

When we've pressed this soil around we want to end it such that you have a little bit

當我們把土壤壓在周圍的時候，我們想結束它，這樣你就有一點

of a dish going around the bush, a little bit of a depression. The reason we're doing

的盤子裡轉來轉去，有點蕭條。我們之所以在做

this is so that when we water this plant in the water will collect there.

這是為了讓我們在澆灌這種植物的時候，水會聚集在那裡。

Nice and firm around there. Just again, just build that soil up and a little bit of a dish

在那附近很好很牢固。再來一次，只要把土壤培植起來，再加一點盤子

around there. And then we can just water that plant in.

在那裡。然後我們就可以給那個植物澆水了。

Make sure it's getting a good drink. Come back after this water is soaked in. Give it

確保它'得到了很好的飲用。等這水泡好了再來。給它

another drink. And then we come back and add some mulch to that. We like to mulch our plants

再喝一杯。然後我們再回來，在上面加一些覆蓋物。我們喜歡覆蓋我們的植物

right away because the mulch will help conserve the moisture that's there and it will prevent

因為覆蓋物將有助於保存水分，'的存在，它將防止。

any weed seeds that are in the soil from popping up and germinating. Most weed seeds need a

任何雜草種子，在土壤中從彈出和發芽。大多數雜草種子需要一個

little bit of light to stimulate them to germinate.

一點點的光照來刺激它們發芽。

So after that water has soaked in, we can use something nice like pine needles for a

所以在這些水浸泡過後，我們可以用一些好的東西，比如說松針，來做一個。

good mulch. We could use wood chips. We could use bark. Whatever's available. I like pine

好的覆蓋物。我們可以用木屑。我們可以用樹皮。無論'的可用。我喜歡松樹

needles because they're readily available, they're relatively inexpensive.

針，因為他們'是現成的，他們'相對便宜。

We want to put a good, thick layer around this, six to eight inches thick. Just tuck

我們要在這周圍放一層厚厚的東西，六到八英寸厚。只要塞進

it right around that plant, covering up that bowl that we've made. Just enough to keep

它就在那株植物周圍，遮住了我們做的那個碗。足夠讓

the weeds out. Compress it a little bit so the wind doesn't blow it away. And we're good

的雜草了。把它壓縮一下，這樣風就不會把它吹走。而我們

to go.

去。

Now I don't believe in doing a lot of heavy pruning at planting time. If you've got any

現在我不相信在種植的時候做大量的重修剪。如果你'有任何

very weak shoots that are there or shoots that are growing along the ground or shoots

有的嫩枝或沿地生長的嫩枝或嫩枝，非常脆弱

that are broken, you can trim off something that's very, very weak. But other than that,

是破碎的，你可以修剪掉一些'的非常，非常弱。但除此之外。

it's pretty much leave them alone at this point. Heavy pruning at this point is actually

it'的差不多了，這時候就不要管他們了。重修剪在這一點上實際上是

going to stress the plant out. It's going to try to put a lot of vegetative vigor on

將壓力的植物。它要試著把大量的植被活力放在。

and it hasn't got a good enough root system to support that at this time.

而它還沒有得到一個足夠好的根系來支持，在這個時候。

If you've got plant tags on, it's a good idea to staple these to a wooden or a metal stake

如果你已經有了植物標籤，將這些標籤釘在木頭或金屬樁上是個好主意。

and put them to the side. Leaving them on here when the stem starts to grow, it can

並把它們放在一邊。當莖開始生長的時候，把它們留在這裡，它可以。

actually girdle them.

實際上是給他們束腰。

Now, after these plants have been in the ground for a few weeks, these little buds on the

現在，這些植物在地裡生長了幾個星期之後

shoots are going to break and we'll see some leaves. You may also see some flower clusters

嫩枝要斷了，我們'會看到一些葉子。你也可能看到一些花簇

up near the tip. In the planting year, you want to rub those flower clusters off because

靠近頂端的地方。在種植當年，你要把這些花簇擦掉，因為...

we're not asking the plant to put all its energy into fruit production. We want to develop

我們'不是要求植物把所有的能量都投入到果實生產中。我們想開發

new shoots, new roots to get this bush off to a good start.

新的芽，新的根，讓這個灌木叢有一個好的開始。

And that's it. If we're going on to our next plant, we want to make sure that one's about

而這'就是它。如果我們要去下一個工廠，我們要確保那一個工廠是關於

five feet away down the row. And if we're actually going to have a second row, the second

五英尺遠的下一排。如果我們實際上要有一個第二行，第二個

row needs to be about eight feet apart. So five foot spacing in the row and about eight

行距需要八尺左右。是以，五英尺的行間距和大約八英尺的

feet between rows if you go with more than one.

行之間的腳，如果你用多個。

Now most blueberry plants require a friend for crosspollination so it's best to plant

現在大多數藍莓植株都需要朋友進行交叉授粉，所以最好是種

more than one variety to make sure that the bees are going to move the pollen around and

多個品種，以確保蜜蜂要把花粉搬來搬去，並。

give you good fruit set.

給你好的果實集。
