In the spring, you need to take care of the raspberries in order to collect a rich harvest of sweet and aromatic berries in the summer.

This garden crop occupies a special place in the hearts of summer residents. Raspberries are unpretentious and have a high yield.

An expert of the online publication " Belnovosti ", agronomist and author of the blog "Conscious Gardening" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to feed raspberries in the spring.

You need to start acting when the snow melts. In early or mid-March, it is worth adding the first fertilizers.

The emphasis is on nitrogen fertilizers, which are designed to stimulate the growth of green mass. Thanks to such fertilizers, raspberries will revive faster after winter and start growing.

After flowering, the bushes need potassium fertilizers, which will ensure active fruiting.

In August or early autumn, you must remember to remove two-year-old branches if they had a harvest. Young shoots are left, which will produce berries next season.
