Should You Trim Strawberry Leaves After Harvesting: 90% of Gardeners Make a Mistake
Strawberries are a popular berry that many people love.
Adults and children choose the fruits because of their special sweet taste and juiciness.
But when growing, many summer residents wonder how to improve the harvest.
Some are sure that for this purpose it is necessary to remove the leaves of the crop, since such a procedure reduces the risk of diseases and pests. But others claim that such a procedure will only harm the plantings.
Experts say the procedure is useless.
It should be carried out in case of a tick attack.
It is important to remember that the leaves need to be removed with thin pruning shears or sharp scissors.
It is better to do this in the first days of August, but in cool and cloudy weather.
You should choose morning or evening for this.
After pruning, you need to leave cuttings of about 10 cm, so as not to damage the growth point. The leaves will have to be burned.
