ts Berries 
Berries will sometimes grow without much care, but will grow better if 
conditions are made favorable. 
Moisture and wind break are very essential. 
Moist, fertile soil attracts earth worms which seem to benefit many plants. 
I believe our soil is very good but it is often so dry that plants cannot 
get minerals in soluble forms. Heat, frost, and moisture will often get 
minerals in soluble form if they are given lots of time and perhaps lime. 
Sometimes the soil is slightly deficient in carbon, phosphorus, potash, 
calcium, nitrogen, and urea. 
The soil may need traces of other elements as iodine, cobalt, manganese, 
sodium, carbon, boron, magnesium, potassium, sulphur, zinc, and perhaps 
chlorine or iron, in soluble forms. 
Leaf mold and peat moss contain food that benefit some plants but most 
of the above named are useless, or even harmful without adequate moisture. 
Pruning may be done in dry weather after the fruit has been picked but 
many prefer to prune when plants are dormant just before budding in the spring. 
If the ground gets hard, common manure will help things grow if sufficient 
water is used and make better soil. Peat moss and wood ashes, too, are 
useful.
