Not all summer residents spend days and nights in their gardens and vegetable patches – there are lucky ones who spend a minimum of time on their plots of land, but can still boast impressive harvests.

Belnovosti online publication expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh is sure that luck has nothing to do with it, all you need to do is have the necessary knowledge, and you can consider it a done deal.

For example, when growing raspberries, it is important to know how to feed the plant and when is the best time to do it.

So, if we are talking about the approaching spring, it is worth adding fertilizer to the soil where the raspberry patch is located after the snow has melted.

Next time the nutrient solution will have to be used during the period of budding, flowering, and fruiting.

If you are not a supporter of mineral fertilizers, use homemade nitrogen fertilizer.

To do this, you need to dissolve 1 kg of chicken manure in 10 liters of water and pour 5 liters of the product under each bush.

Alternatively, use 1 kg of mullein mixed with 10 liters of water. After 24 hours, dilute it with water in a warm place in a ratio of 10 to 1 and you can start watering.
