Os mirtilos podem ser doces, suculentos e nutritivos, mas colher as pequenas frutas da cultivar selvagem ou de baixo crescimento à mão pode deixá-lo amargo. Um ancinho de mirtilo - que parece uma pá de lixo com dentes parecidos com rake - faz com que o processo de colheita diminua o nível de psique. Como muitas das variedades de baixo crescimento são firmes ou semi-firmes, elas se mantêm relativamente bem com esse tipo de colheita um pouco menos delicada. Dito isto, o método de raking requer alguma habilidade e uma postura adequada, de modo que você não acabe com dores nas costas, mais folhas que bagas e suco de mirtilo.
1
Dobre os joelhos para tirar a tensão de suas costas enquanto você trabalha.
2
Abaixe seu ancinho suavemente no arbusto de mirtilo com os dentes inclinados para cima. Puxe o ancinho através dos galhos, deixando os dentes levemente eretos agarrarem os cachos e retirá-los das bagas. O design do ancinho inclui um prendedor tipo concha que segura as bagas; mantenha o ancinho inclinado para cima para que as bagas não caiam.
3
Esvazie a concha do ancinho antes que ela esteja cheia, para evitar que as bagas esmaguem umas às outras com o peso delas. Use uma caixa grande e rasa para segurar as bagas. Armazenar bagas em um balde ou lata profunda pode fazer com que os inferiores se machuquem ou estourem.
4
Descanse um cotovelo no joelho de vez em quando enquanto você trabalha para aliviar um pouco do estresse em seu corpo. Fique em pé, descanse e estique, conforme necessário.
Coisas que você precisará
- Escaninho rasa
Gorjeta
- Os tipos de ancinhos de mirtilo incluem uma variedade menor de cabo único e um design maior de cabo duplo. Escolha o seu rake dependendo das intenções de escolha. Por exemplo, se você simplesmente estiver colhendo blueberries silvestres com sua família ou visitando uma granja de colheita ocasional, de vez em quando, rakes menores devem ser suficientes - e mais fáceis para uma criança gerenciar. Mas se você estiver colhendo blueberries para ganho comercial ou como empregado, o furo maior provavelmente será uma escolha melhor e mais produtiva.
