Any responsible gardener knows that spring fertilizing can be considered one of the most important.

With their help, we saturate "hungry" plants with nutrients, which will help in collecting a decent harvest.

Therefore, we must not forget about “treats” for strawberries, notes the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What tools can you pay attention to?

Use compost

This is one of the universal options that will always be appropriate. Compost contains a lot of nutrients that will help in the development of strawberries.

The product is easy to use.

It is recommended to simply "compact" the soil near the strawberries by laying a five-centimeter layer of compost. It only needs to be renewed once throughout the year.

Ammonia

This is a quality source of nitrogen, which the berry crop desperately needs in the spring. It is best to use regular ammonia.

It is used in the spraying process.

It is recommended to take three spoons of the preparation per bucket of water. Two feedings are enough. Ammonia is used before and after flowering.

Ordinary ash

This product contains not only potassium, but also other valuable minerals, so ash will definitely not be superfluous. It can be used in different ways.

Some simply sprinkle the soil and dust it. Others water it with a nutrient solution: 200 ml of strawberries per bucket of water.
