There are crops that you cannot afford to make mistakes in caring for: otherwise, you will simply lose a harvest of normal quality.
Strawberries are definitely one of them.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh believes that it is worth paying close attention to three basic rules.
What do they consist of?
Weevil
This pest poses the greatest danger to the strawberry crop, so it is worth protecting yourself from it in all available and possible ways.
For example, you can use a method that has been proven over the years.
To do this, take a large saucepan and pour five liters of water into it. Add about half a glass of mustard powder and about one hundred grams of tobacco leaves, pre-crushed.
You can also add a piece of soap, previously grated. After boiling, the product is left to stand until it reaches room temperature. Then you need to filter the composition and start processing the plantings.
Correctness of feeding
The choice of nutrients always depends on the time of year: this is what determines the plant's needs. In the spring, it is worth focusing on natural fertilizers that are sources of nitrogen.
But in the autumn period it is worth choosing sources of phosphorus and potassium.
Watering
This is not a crop that will tolerate drought and lack of moisture: as a result, the berries will be small and sour. Therefore, when hot weather sets in, watering should become regular and abundant.
