Flood the bog – get the cranberries

Cranberries have pockets of air inside the fruit. And that means they float in water. So, for years people are using the knowledge: the bogs, where cranberries grow, are flooded with water, then harvesters use water reels to stir up the water. This way the ripe berries are removed from the vines. And then they have a field of floating cranberries ready to be picked up. And besides the fact that it is an extremely clever way to harvest, it is also a spectacular look – a red sea of cranberries.
