A fragrant and juicy berry is a source of useful elements, the basis of desserts and simply delicious tea.

It is not difficult to plant a raspberry bush in the ground. It is more difficult to make the raspberry patch consistently yield a good harvest.

Some are satisfied with 200-300 g of berries per bush, while for others, even 5 kg is not enough for the season. If a small harvest does not please, then summer residents study all possible methods to stimulate fruiting.

Another task is to make sure that the raspberries are large. For example, for many gardeners the benchmark is a size comparable to a quail egg. This is a very good indicator, which only a few can boast of.

Fertilizer for raspberries

Experienced gardeners advise not to throw away potato peelings. They can be dug under raspberries to a depth of about 20 cm. Ideally, of course, throw them into the planting hole.

When the plants are already growing and bearing fruit, you need to dig in carefully so as not to damage the roots. They do not go deep and form an intricate web that can be easily torn apart with a shovel.

You can simply pour the peelings under the root, then sprinkle with earth and compact the soil. Water the surface.

The berries will become larger thanks to the vitamin K, starch and glucose that potato waste is rich in.
