What gardener doesn’t dream of growing a rich harvest of large, aromatic and juicy strawberries?
To get closer to the desired goal, the plantings need to be fed in the spring. The plants will receive resources for flowering and fruit formation.
First feeding
There are two options - chicken manure or urea. In the first case, take a liter jar of organic matter and pour it into a large bucket, then add 10 liters of water.
The product is infused in a warm place for exactly one week. Before use, the fertilizer is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:20. The bushes are watered at the root.
Alternatively, you can use urea - 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water.
Second feeding
The next dressing is prepared from nettles and ash. Fill the bucket with greenery 2/3 full, then add water and leave to infuse for 10 days.
2 days before it is ready, make the second component of the fertilizer. Pour a third of a bucket of ash with hot water and leave for 48 hours.
To create the final top dressing, take 0.5 liters of each infusion. Mix the components and dilute with 10 liters of water.
Third feeding
The last spring feeding consists of mineral fertilizers. For 10 liters of water take 1 tbsp. urea, 1 tsp. potassium monophosphate and 1 tsp. borofoska. Mix the components and water the strawberries with the resulting solution.
