Weeds pose a serious threat to strawberries. Therefore, the summer resident's task is to do everything possible to protect the berries from formidable "neighbors".

The most interesting thing is that there is no need for weeding or using special preparations.

It is enough to put one material on the soil cover - and the strawberry bushes will acquire maximum protection from weeds.

No "chemistry" and no tedious work!

What material are we talking about?

Any thick film will help protect strawberries from weeds. It should be laid on the bed where the crop grows.

Of course, before laying out the film, it is necessary to make holes in it - for the strawberry bushes. The rest of the area should be closed.

If these conditions are met, weeds simply will not be able to grow and develop. As a result, nothing will prevent the gardener from getting a good strawberry harvest.

Another benefit of the material

Thick film helps not only to stop the growth of weeds.

The material also comes in handy during harvesting. Thus, berries can be safely thrown down: the fruits will fall on clean material, and not on the soil cover.
