If you want your strawberries to grow large and sweet, don't forget to apply fertilizer.
Correctly selected complexes will help to significantly increase crop yields.
What fertilizers should you pay attention to?
First nitrogen fertilization
Nitrogen is extremely important for strawberries at the beginning of the season. You can make a completely natural remedy. To do this, you need to pour a liter of bird droppings with 10 liters of water.
The fertilizer should stand for seven days in a warm place, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
After this, we dilute the resulting concentrate with two more buckets of water and water it. Each bush will require one liter of the product.
If there is no litter, you can pay attention to industrial fertilizers. For example, urea would be an ideal option: you will need only one spoon per 10 liters of water.
Nettle with ash
This is a very effective remedy that promotes a rich harvest of large strawberries. You need to fill a standard bucket 1/6 full with chopped nettle, pour in water and wait a week.
After five days, prepare the following composition: fill a third of the bucket with ash and pour in hot water.
After that, take half a liter of each concentrate, combine and pour in a bucket of clean water. Then you can start feeding the strawberries.
