The quality of the strawberry harvest is primarily determined by the quantity of berries, their condition and taste.

It may also be that there are a lot of berries, but they are either watery in taste or sour. This is what experienced gardeners who are not familiar with this problem feed the berry bushes with.

After this addition, you will be able to collect sweet strawberries in buckets, but you need to add it in April.

They say that strawberries are capricious berries, but gardeners who have found an approach to this crop have not thought so for a long time. Like any crop, strawberries need proper care.

To ensure that the plant does not waste energy on growth and development, but rather passes this period as efficiently as possible, nitrogen must be added at the beginning or in the middle of April (depending on the climate and weather).

Top dressing coincides with the period when the first leaves appear on the bushes.

At this time, both mineral additives and organic matter are used.

However, summer residents recommend using a solution of mullein (2 cups) and ammonium sulfate (1 cup) as the first spring fertilizer.

The ingredients are mixed in ten liters of water, infused, and when ready, the mixture is used for watering.

Consumption: up to one liter of solution per bush.
