Autumn has come - a good time of year for planting strawberries. It is necessary to prepare the soil and buy seedlings.
Rules for planting strawberries
First, you need to decide what area the strawberries will occupy and how many seedlings there will be. So that it is easy to take care of them in the summer, because they require proper care.
Strawberries love to bask in the sun, so you need to plant them in a place where they will feel comfortable. Choose a bed that will be protected from the wind.
Strawberries should be planted on slightly acidic soils. It is very good to plant seedlings after peas, carrots, and radishes.
Plant the plant in a row so that the seedlings are 20-30 cm apart. The size of the berry depends on this. After planting, the harvest will be good only in the second or third year. Strawberries need to be replanted every four years.
Fertilizers for strawberries
Strawberries have small roots that are located shallowly. You can feed the beds with wood ash or semi-rotted manure. The quality and quantity of berries depends on the seedlings purchased.
When choosing them, you need to pay attention to the root system. It should be well developed, not shorter than 5-7 cm, the diameter of the horn should be 1-2 cm and 5-6 leaves.
