Harvesting strawberry bushes as early as possible is the dream of many gardeners, especially those who live in regions with a cool climate and short summers.
According to Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer, achieving the set goal is entirely possible if you choose the right varieties, properly care for the plants and, of course, use certain growing technologies for this.
In this article, we will tell you about methods that will help you get a rich strawberry harvest as early as May.
There is nothing complicated in the technology: the first thing you will have to do is cover the strawberry bed with film.
In order for the soil to warm up quickly, the above step alone will not be enough, so do not stop there.
Place fresh manure around the strawberries covered with film. The heat from it will quickly warm up the strawberries under the film.
As a result, all other processes will also begin to occur faster, and soon the plants will bloom.
Let us remind you: according to gardeners who have experienced this month, strawberries can be picked from the bush a month earlier than with the usual method of cultivation.
