Depending on the size of your garden landscaping for small gardens and the amount of pruning done, it may generate large quantities of branches. Instead of throwing these away, they can be put to good use by turning them to mulch. A wood chipper can be rented to make chips of the wood and this can then be used as mulch. The wood chipper may be expensive to rent, so if you have only a small quantity of pruning, then it is better to store it away to add to the next batch of pruning. That way it will be economical to make the wood chippings.

Cold composting is as simple as piling up your yard waste or taking out the organic materials in your trash such as fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds or egg shells and then piling them in your yard. Over the course of a year or so, the material will decompose. Hot composting is for the more serious gardener; you’ll get compost in one to three months during warm weather. Four ingredients are required for fast-cooking hot compost: nitrogen, carbon, air and water. These items feed microorganisms, which speed up the process of decay.

Once the blueberries have been planted, they will have to be covered with peat. Regular watering of the plant is also necessary. 4 to 6 ft of space needs to be left if the blueberries are being planted in a high bush fashion. 3 ft to 4 ft covers mostly the half bush. Approximately 5 to 6 inches of mulch needs to be added on top of the soil to allow moisture to stay. Pine needles and sawdust can be used as “mulch”. Wood chips and crushed leaves also come under the mulch category.
