How experienced gardeners feed strawberries after fruiting: they have no reason to complain about the harvest

It is unlikely that anyone who grows strawberries needs to be reminded that they need to be looked after even after harvesting.

Gardeners with many years of experience advise using organic fertilizers during this period.

In August, it is worth adding an infusion of bird droppings or mullein to the strawberry plantation.

Bird droppings are diluted with water in a ratio of 1:15-20, left for two days and watered between the rows.

An infusion of mullein is prepared using almost the same scheme - from 1 part of cow dung and 10 parts of water. After the dressing is ready, pour 1 liter under each bush.

If necessary, you can add one part charcoal for every ten parts mullein.

Do not forget about autumn feeding of strawberries, as this is important for the future harvest.

At the end of October, wood ash should be added under the plants at a rate of no more than 1 glass per 1 square meter.
