How to care for raspberries in the summer to get an incredible harvest: detailed rules
Raspberries are a favorite berry for many, so you are unlikely to find a plot of land where there is no raspberry patch.
However, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , in order for the berries to be large, the plants need to be properly looked after.
Mandatory care procedures include the following: mulching, watering, fertilizing, pruning and pest control.
Let's take a closer look at some of these points, for example, mulching.
Experienced gardeners advise using dried mown weeds and humus as a covering material for raspberries.
Mulch your raspberries with a thick layer of mulch in early summer to help retain moisture in the soil for a long time.
Now about watering. It should be abundant, the soil should not be allowed to dry out.
Watering is especially important for raspberries during flowering, when they especially need life-giving moisture. If the weather is dry outside, do not be lazy to water the raspberries once every 10 days.
The easiest way to solve the issue of fertilizing is to use a complex of mineral fertilizers for raspberries, which can be purchased at your nearest garden store.
