It is no secret that many crops, including strawberries, can easily exist for several years in the same place.

At the same time, according to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , after a while the soil on which the strawberry bushes grow becomes depleted.

Lack of nutrition leads to the fact that the growth and development of plants, and with them the yield, are significantly reduced.

If you are determined to collect a large number of tasty and beautiful berries every year, you should think about replanting strawberries.

You can help the soil to rest faster with the help of green manure crops, such as mustard, oats, rye and others.

An excellent option is unpretentious legumes, which will saturate the soil with nitrogen, thereby restoring its fertility.

The former strawberry patch can also be used as a flower bed, planting tulips, peonies, violets or super-healthy marigolds here.
