What does planting strawberries in August give: a secret that will help increase the berry harvest
Don't be afraid to renew your strawberry bed in August.
The seedlings will still have time to take root in order to delight you with tasty and sweet fruits next season.
If the bushes are planted in the spring, they need more time to get used to the new place.
In this case, it is better to remove the first flower stalks. As a result, a year is lost. Therefore, experienced gardeners recommend renewing strawberry beds in the last month of summer.
When planting, you need to take a serious approach to choosing a place for seedlings. You cannot plant berry bushes after nightshade or pumpkin.
This crop will grow best after grains and green manure. You can also get an excellent result if you plant strawberries after onions, garlic or legumes.
In addition, when planting strawberries, you need to add additional fertilizers to the holes.
You can give preference to any organic matter: compost, rotted manure or slightly acidic peat. It will not be superfluous to add a little superphosphate so that the bushes take root well.
It is also necessary to fill the hole with any potassium fertilizer.
