A deficiency of vitamin K can affect a new-born baby or fetus as well. Vitamin K deficiency may result in internal bleeding (in the skull), malformed fingers, and under-developed facial features like ears, nose, and chin. Vitamin K helps in the overall development of the fetus. This explains why a pregnant woman is usually given vitamin K in the form of food supplements.
Honeyberries grow best in moist, well-drained soil. The ideal pH is 6.5, but they are adapted to a pH range of 5 to 8. Unlike many other berries, they produce well in a partly shaded location and on wet, clay soils, although they do best on a well-drained soil.
Blackberries. Blackberry bushes are tolerant of most soil types that provide strong drainage. Soils that are heavy in clay or that are prone to flooding provide a poor growing medium for these berry bushes. Adding organic matter to the soil supplies nutrients for your blackberries and improves the drainage of your soil. Planting in raised beds also improves the drainage of soil for blackberry bushes.
