May is the ideal time to feed strawberries with a cheap but effective fertilizer.
The berries will become larger, juicier and sweeter. In addition, there will be more fruits - you will have to go to the strawberry picker with a bucket every morning.
Fertilizer for strawberries
Starting from the last month of spring, gardeners use ash to feed strawberries. A simple solution is prepared from it, which stimulates fruiting.
For 10 liters of water take 1 glass of ash. Or simply add it under the root in dry form - one handful per plant. Then loosen the soil a little and water it.
There is another option for using ash on strawberries. For this, milk whey is used. For 1 liter of product, take 200 g of ash.
What else will increase strawberry yields?
To maximize the yield of berry bushes, use a yeast solution. Gardeners argue about this remedy, but there are many who recommend the remedy.
Dissolve 100 g of dry yeast and 50 g of sugar in 10 liters of water. Leave the solution for 24 hours, then water the plants at the roots - 0.5 liters per bush.
