Want to have fresh fruit on hand to enjoy whenever you are in the mood for a juicy snack and save on grocery bills? <\/span><\/p>\n

We thought so! Get all that and more by planting your own fruit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fruit grown in your own yard will be the best you\u2019ve ever had, hands down. And, you\u2019ll feel incredibly empowered growing and harvesting your own food. <\/span><\/p>\n

And you\u2019ll slash your grocery bills. The initial investment it takes to buy three raspberry bushes (about $40-$50) will pay for itself the first year you get berries. These bushes will produce five to seven pints per year! Think about all you could do this summer with that extra money.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first step to planting fruit is deciding what to grow. <\/span><\/p>\n

To save the most money, grow fruits that are expensive to buy at the store \u2014cherries, berries, citrus, etc. Plus, plant what you love to eat! <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re planting a tree, a shrub or seeds, you\u2019ll want to start by performing a quick soil test. Improving the soil will create big, healthy roots, which absorb more nutrients and water. <\/span><\/p>\n

Use an organic fertilizer to provide plants with the nutrients they need to grow big and strong. When fed with an organic plant food regularly, you\u2019ll have a bigger crop than you ever thought possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s time to put on your work gloves<\/a><\/u> <\/span>and grab a sturdy shovel<\/a><\/u><\/span> to amend your soil with an organic fertilizer, compost or an organic peat moss. Mix into the top 4-5\u201d of soil. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now here comes the fun part \u2013 planting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remove plants from their containers. Dig a hole as deep and an inch wider than the container they were growing in. Check the plant tag to see how far apart to plant them for proper growth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Arrange each of them in the hole and backfill with soil. Remove any pesky air pockets by pressing down on the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n

All that\u2019s left to do is lightly water and wait to see how they do. If you notice that the plants need some extra support while they\u2019re growing, use Centurion\u2019s Garden wire and clip set<\/a><\/u><\/span> to give them stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once your plants have matured, it\u2019s time to harvest! You\u2019ll want to grab a collapsible bucket<\/a><\/u><\/span> to help with all of the fruit you\u2019ll have to pick.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before the next season, check to see if your plants need to be pruned. Use Centurion\u2019s loppers<\/a><\/u><\/span> to make clean cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n
