Everyone loves growing an edible landscape. One of the backbones of an organic garden is small fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. For hundreds of years, these fruits have been family favourites and are just as good fresh from the garden as they are preserved in jams or baked into pies and cobblers. Adding berries to your backyard will be one of the best investments of your time, as most berry crops can be expected to produce fruit for five to ten years or even longer.
All types of berries will have specific needs depending upon which particular kind of crop you are planting. This book explains the ins and outs of getting started and walks you step by step through the process of choosing which berry bushes will work best for you and how to care for them. You'll also learn about mulching and fertilizing your bushes, how to care for them, and practical tips to help you get the most out of your organic berry bushes.
