14. Avoid These Common Mistakes
When planting season comes around, pick up a planting guide to ensure that you remember the steps involved with establishing your garden.
Don’t plant your blackberry plant in too deep or shallow a hole, as it will affect the growth of the plant. Exposed roots will attract pests that burrow into the exposed roots, resulting in disease and low yields. Always pack the soil around the roots to give them a stable platform from which to grow and carry weight.
Never plant your blackberry plant close to an invasive species or an unknown plant. Water your blackberry plant two to three times a week. Avoid overwatering every day., as the plant will develop faster if you allow the soil to dry out a bit between watering. Only fertilize the plant after it has established its root system. This strategy helps avoid fertilizer burn that can halt the growth of your blackberry plant.
