Wild Berry

Help rakes to harvest wild blueberries Huckleberry

So you are about to bookmark your trip to the woods, and enjoy a different experience to pick berries. Did you know - If the crop is moderate to strong - you can choose from four to ten times more than wild blueberries in an hour, with a tool cheap known as a blueberry rake?

How to get more fruit in the bucket!

Real berries on the plant species most Huckleberry grow only in the growth of this year. So do not try to "bull" his way through the factory. Since the teeth of a rake are usually metal, and very robust, there is a high risk of damage to wild plant if you try to tilt more than necessary. The more you hang up, and leaves more in your cube, which is when choose.

If berries are very rare, are the best selection of hand. However, harvest of blueberries, and a higher yield rake up is harvested by hand ... for obvious reasons!

Think small!

blueberry rakes work better with a small bouquet of berries manage. Short, fast, relaxed shots, with just the right amount of berries and branches as a goal, provide the greatest return. Until you get the hang of wrist action to hunt smaller branches first, at the end of the main branches. Drag the teeth slightly lower than the lowest Huckleberry in a group of perhaps three to five bays, to begin with, then pull the tooth and wild blueberry loose battery.

His first slide: "What Just Happened? "

Probably one of two things. Whether you're going too slow, and blueberries are pinched and squeezed as a rake low hanging twigs. Or, going too fast, and most berries flew into the top of your rake, dotting the surrounding vegetation. Like shrimp fishermen rookie Forrest Gump in the movie that old boots and a toilet seat on his first catch, his first effort can earn more rake leaves off.

It's not as easy as it appears, but will get better, fast! If you are a fisherman or fisherwoman, you know what I mean when I describe "set the hook. You get semi-final line, and then just at the right time, you feel a tug, give a little wink of the wrist and Fish "!". You can write and explain how the movement of your wrist anything you want, but until you experience the feeling of a dozen - or even a few hundred times - you do not know how to set the hook, and catch that lunker.

Round 2!

Then try again. As the feed dog in blueberries, perhaps six to ten berries this time, you want to remove from the light "pressure" berries attached - like taking the reins in a line of fish. Note that if intends to take too many branches at once, the pressure becomes a growl in his rake twigs, which reduces the effectiveness of their efforts, and increasing the risk of damage to the plant.

The moment we feel any pressure, there will be a short and sweet "snapshot" of your wrist upward or outward. Too slow and hanging branches and blue berries through a pile of leaves. (This is because it is pulling the fruit out, instead of the jump.) Too fast, and fly over the bays Rake, rake in.

Practice, practice, practice!

Do not give up! At first you may feel it would be Quick to take your hand. And that would be! But wait, things will change, and once you change, you will rack up gallon after gallon of blueberries with a rake much faster than you ever thought possible. Once you are comfortable, each movement of the wrist leads to a dozen (or more) beautiful purple berries in the blink of an eye.

With both hands with a rake Huckleberry:

As the fall of the basis of race, and get an idea of how many branches and berries can really rake in one go without problems, to develop a sort of rhythm. Write Now Time Moreover, a shipper to choose the production line Huckleberry. In fact, what you've done some time ago, by instinct.

Huckleberry bushes often shows berries within ten or twenty inches (or more) at the top and outside of the plant, its trace can be six inches wide. You really can rake a strip four inches wide or less adequately. However, using their hands in unison, you can cover much of the ground in less time.

Free picks sticks his hand between the thumb and fingers. You pinch the branches are set to a larger bouquet of berries, or away from the main floor, so they are easier to clean, rake hitches. And try to avoid as many leaves as possible.

Then there is the rake. Swish. Repeat. (You will always get a small hook, so do not worry, all work to avoid throwing the branches to hang up. It is better to go back and take a small strokes that damage the plant.)

Feel the rhythm!

Once more, you get a walking gait, this time with both hands. Some features will not be second hand ... a branch with berries of Nice is suspended there, all by his loneliness, and a study with a rake will do. In "Huckleberry bushes heavy" second hands get a workout.

An experienced rake is a feast for the eyes as he or she works around the factory, without loss of motion, wrist motion short and easy, ahead of the plant, while standing in one place. Maybe not next to a wild Huckleberry to change the angle, and get all the remaining berries. Then he or she works right through the patch one and systematic, short breaks in a loss of the Bay began to erupt in the mouth, or selector takes a swat at an insect.

A final plea.

NADA Huckleberry damage a savage cut or broken branch or even the entire plant, seen people do. wild blueberries take 5-15 years to reach a production stage, and when you reduce them - even if it could make the collection easier - some else is likely to grow where once the plant was Huckleberry.

blueberry rakes are the best tactics to get four, six, even ten times as many berries in your bucket in a hour, without damaging wildlife. But even a rake, like a hammer or a screwdriver, can be misused and cause damage. Run your Huckleberry Rake ethics and all will benefit from our resources for wild Huckleberry generations to come!
