Many summer residents mistakenly believe that an abundance of fertilizers will result in a rich harvest, but strawberries need something else.
This mistake is made by inexperienced gardeners who forget about one important action. It must be done periodically so that the harvest pleases from year to year.
Soil
It all starts with a bed where strawberries grow. Before planting, it needs to be properly prepared. The point is to add compost.
The fertilizer will be enough for the bushes to produce a bountiful harvest. Other fertilizers are not so important for strawberries, so you can do without them.
The main secret
It consists of regular renewal of plantings. At the end of each season, the bushes give many runners that can be cut off and planted.
Therefore, every two years old plantings are destroyed. They will be replaced in the new season by bushes planted 1-2 years ago.
In addition, strawberries need to be constantly transplanted to a new place. If you follow these rules, there will be a lot of berries.
