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.
Choose an area that is free of perennial weeds. This area should also have full sun throughout the day. Strawberries also do best in a sandy loam soil. If you do not have this type of soil, just find a well-drained area to plant. The soil should be prepared with 10 to 15 pounds of a starter fertilizer per 1000 square feet.
