In anticipation of the new summer cottage season, many gardeners are deciding what crops they will plant in the spring.

At this time of year, many summer residents will probably be planting strawberries.

This work can be started after the soil has warmed up sufficiently. In addition, the risk of frost should be minimal.

Also, don’t forget about gardening tricks that can significantly increase berry yields.

The owner of a country plot will collect a lot of garden strawberries if he performs one simple action.

What to put on the ground

There should be black film between the rows of strawberries.

This material will prevent the growth of weeds that take nutrients and moisture from garden strawberries.

As a result, the strawberries will have no obstacles to full growth and development. A lot of berries will form: perhaps twice as many as usual.

There is an important point: the film cannot be placed on "untreated" soil. The soil must be slightly loosened.

The material should be placed between the rows of berry bushes throughout the spring and almost the entire summer. The film can be removed only in the last weeks of August.
