Blueberry Sod: Why Blueberries Are The Perfect Ground Cover
26.11.2023 - 08:29 / gardeningknowhow.com / Teo Spengler
If you have never heard of blueberry sod, this is your chance to simplify the way you approach lawn care. Beautiful and delicious, using blueberry sod as ground cover is a great alternative to planting a new lawn. It is much easier to grow and care for, and a unique way to enhance your garden’s fruiting potential.
Seeding a lawn requires effort – clearing the area, tilling the soil, planting seeds, and providing irrigation while you wait for the seeds to turn into lush ground cover. You also need to keep the area clear of weeds until a thick turf develops. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could unroll a lawn like a carpet over bare ground? Put simply, sod is grass that arrives in a roll, pre-grown, with soil and roots. If you are considering using blueberry ground cover as a lawn substitute, you can use blueberry sod to achieve your goal quickly.
Blueberry sod is one of the easiest ways to plant blueberry ground cover. It costs more than other methods, like seedling or installing plants, but the amount of work and time required is so reduced that it has many fans. Like a grass sod that you lay, blueberry sod is a layer of pre-planted earth. It is sold in rolls and arrives at your house with mature roots. That means that it can be installed immediately.
This type of sod can be used on flat spaces, but also on slopes or even hillsides. It is an effective way to combat erosion, since it holds soil in place, absorbs rainwater and creates a beneficial wildlife habitat. All this, and it also provides delicious berries.
The trickiest thing about planting blueberry sod is that you cannot unroll it over vegetation like grass or weeds. Blueberry sod roots are mature, but they need to be in direct contact with the soil in order to

How to make the most of colour in the autumn garden | House & Garden
The colours of autumn are so evocative. Russet, ochre and translucent crimson can look magnificent against a clear blue sky – or more importantly they can light up a dull grey day, catching the eye and cheering the heart. It is fascinating to know a little about the science behind the colour change in the second half of the year, as explained by Chris Clennett at Kew: ‘Trees, like most plants, use chlorophyll to photosynthesise…In autumn, trees that lose their leaves for winter go through a process to shut down photosynthesis and reclaim as many valuable chemicals as possible. Chlorophyll is constantly breaking down and being replaced through the summer, but the process slows down in autumn. This reveals all those other chemicals that were hidden by the presence of the dominant green chlorophyll…yellow flavonols, orange carotenoids and red to purple anthocyanins.’

How to Use the Science of Plant Survival Strategies for a Healthier Garden

But dividing them into groups based on their survival strategies instead got me thinking about how they evolved to grow, which in turn helped me to cultivate them more successfully in my garden in Texas.
