Sandpit

The sandpit is hard to miss. Sand is an important additive to a cranberry bog. Spread on the vines or on top of the ice during a winter flood, sand will anchor new shoots, keep fruiting uprights short and stocky, cover the leaf litter, reduce disease and help control insects. Fox are often attracted to the sandpit to play. Be sure to look at the sandy roads for the fresh prints of deer. They regularly pass through this way.
