Stop planting strawberries in the same place: the harvest will increase several times

Strawberries are a crop that can grow in one place for several years. But then they will still have to be replanted, because over time the soil will be depleted.

It is advisable to give the previous bed at least a year to rest.

During this period, it is advisable to fertilize it with useful elements.

It wouldn't hurt to plant green manure.

Oats, rye, mustard or other useful plants, such as flowers, which can also repel pests from the area, are excellent for restoring the soil. We are talking about peonies, marigolds or violets.

Experienced gardeners also recommend planting garlic after strawberries, which can rid the soil of bacteria and fungi.

But if the soil is contaminated, you shouldn’t expect a large garlic harvest.

You can also pay attention to legumes. They will take root well in beds where your favorite garden berry used to grow.

In addition, such plants will saturate the soil with nitrogen and loosen it.
