What to be doing (Berries ripe for harvest):
- Prepare harvest equipment
- Make harvesting arrangements (if you pay someone to pick for you)
- Clean and prep bins and lids
- Soil testing WATCH SOIL TESTING VIDEO
Usually a good time to do so after harvest and before the ground freezes to prepare for next year's fertilizer needs.
