How to feed raspberries in spring

At the beginning of the off-season, the plant needs nitrogen.

Therefore, it is worth adding urea. Other good options are nitroammophoska, ammonium nitrate and cow manure.

How to feed raspberries at other stages

During the period of bud formation, raspberry bushes need phosphorus. But do not forget about other microelements. At this time, diammophoska will have a positive effect on the crop.

When the plant begins to bloom, it is worth replenishing the deficiency of potassium and phosphorus in the soil. If this is not done, the future fruits are unlikely to be sweet. At this stage, the use of potassium nitrate and superphosphate is encouraged.

Earlier, summer residents were told how to grow juicy radishes.
