A high-quality strawberry harvest is, first of all, a large and sweet berry, which depends on a number of factors, but primarily on fertilizing.
Everyone knows that berry bushes should change their location periodically – once every 3-4 years. Here is what should be added to the holes when replanting, according to the advice of gardeners.
Everything is important for a strawberry harvest: soil condition, agricultural practices, crop rotation, watering. Fertilizers occupy a special place.
We will tell you what gardeners add when replanting berry bushes or when planting new varieties.
It is believed that the best results can be achieved by adding organic matter to the hole, which is equally beneficial for the plant and the soil.
Option one
From organic additives, summer residents put onion peels in the hole, which have bactericidal properties, rich in vitamins and minerals. It is better to use an infusion (a handful of peels, poured with a liter of boiling water, infused for a day). The solution is added to the water for irrigation.
Option two
Eggshells contain two dozen different micro- and macroelements. They need to be crushed, filled with water, infused for 2 weeks, and then diluted with water in a 1:10 ratio.
Option three
Yeast is also said to be good for strawberries. You need to make a dough of yeast and sugar, dilute it with water and use the solution for watering.
However, there is no consensus among summer residents regarding the usefulness of this additive.
