1. Blueberry rake — This tool is designed specifically for harvesting blueberries and helps gather berries without damaging the bushes or fruit.
2. Handheld pruners — For picking hard-to-reach blueberries, a pair of handheld pruners can be used to snip off the stems and collect the berries.
3. Berry buckets or baskets — These containers are perfect for collecting and carrying the berries while harvesting. They also allow for easy sorting and counting of the berries.
4. Garden scissors — Similar to pruners, garden scissors can be used to snip off stems of blueberries without damaging the bushes.
5. Back-saving picking bag — These bags are designed to be worn around the waist with an adjustable strap and can safely hold many pounds of blueberries for easier picking without bending over all day.
6. Foam kneelers — Harvesting blueberries requires a lot of time spent on your knees. Foam kneelers can provide comfort and support while picking.
7. A ladder — Depending on the height of your blueberry bushes, a ladder may be necessary to reach the higher berries.
8. Garden gloves — Gloves can protect your hands from scratches, thorns, and other potential hazards while harvesting.
9. Sun hat and sunscreen — Being outdoors for extended periods can expose you to harmful UV rays. Wearing a sun hat and applying sunscreen regularly can help protect your skin.
