Many summer residents have noticed one feature of fertilizing raspberries, which has become widespread recently: literally from every iron comes advice that the crop should be fed exclusively with mineral compounds.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh categorically disagrees with this statement, and here's why.

Of course, using ready-made compositions does not present any difficulties, but this trend can safely be called unhealthy.

The whole point is that the result of frequent practice of such light saturation is that the soil becomes saline and loses its healthy structure.

Believe me: if you use only mineral water to fertilize your raspberry patch for several years, it will be difficult to return the area to its former fertile state.

For this reason, you should not refuse to use organic compounds.

Moreover, they are always natural and sometimes we get them completely free of charge.

Of course, the choice is yours, but one thing is certain - you don’t need to use mineral fertilizers too often on your plot.
