2. Soil Moisture:

• Keep soil evenly moist but well-drained

• Raised beds improve drainage, but monitor regularly to avoid drought or saturation

• Mulch with pine needles or bark to retain moisture and acidity

3. Soil Type:

• Use loamy, organic-rich soil

• Mix in peat moss, pine bark, or compost to improve both acidity and structure
