The Secret Behind Milk Cartons in Our Blueberry Farm | The Blueberry Barn

Ever wondered why milk cartons play a vital role in a lot of the blueberry farms you see? Join us as we explore this unconventional choice for nurturing young blueberry plants.

Explore the unique journey of our blueberry plants, from nursery beginnings to thriving fields. Discover why the humble milk carton is a crucial guardian, providing the first layer of protection for our young plants against wind, herbivores, and herbicide drift.

Discover how milk cartons are essential for effective weed control and ensure optimal plant survival. Learn how this simple solution allows our plants to establish themselves before facing environmental challenges.

And learn the secret inside each milk carton — mulch. This not only prevents weed growth but also retains moisture, creating an ideal environment for young blueberry plants to flourish.

Why milk cartons and not another container? These misprinted milk cartons are biodegradable, flexible, and, once the plant outgrows its carton, contribute to enriching the soil.

Delve into the science of using white milk cartons to bounce sunlight, ensuring our plants receive adequate light without overheating, unlike traditional clear plastic containers.
