What to use

Gardeners should pay attention to superphosphate and potassium magnesium sulfate.

The advantage of mineral fertilizers is the ease of their application, dosage calculation and guaranteed effectiveness.

How to proceed

You can prepare a solution or simply scatter the fertilizer around the bush.

For one square meter you will need half a glass of superphosphate and a third of a glass of potassium magnesium sulfate.

It is better to work the fertilizer into the soil if you apply it in dry form.

Thanks to fertilizers, raspberries will grow well and produce a rich harvest.
