Do you want your raspberries to grow large, sweet and tasty?
Be sure to fertilize the bushes with these compounds - experienced gardeners claim that after using it, there will be more berries than the world has ever seen.
Fertilizers for spring
The first version of fertilizer is prepared on the basis of Kemira and Azofoska.
3 tablespoons of each preparation should be diluted in 10 liters of water, then used to water the raspberries - 1 liter per bush.
The main thing is not to skimp, otherwise you won’t see the effect.
For the second feeding option, you will need rotted manure - 1 kg per 10 liters of water. Try to mix as thoroughly as possible so that the manure dissolves as much as possible.
Chicken manure is also suitable - 500 g for the same volume of water. Do not overdo it - otherwise you can burn the roots of the plants.
Wait 2 days for the fertilizer to sit, then shake it and water the raspberries – 1 liter per bush.
Fertilizer at the beginning of fruiting
At the beginning of the fruiting period, phosphate and potassium fertilizers will be needed for feeding.
Fill a watering can with water, add 2 tablespoons of phosphate or superphosphate and 1 tablespoon of fertilizer with a large amount of potassium, mix and water the raspberry patch.
After such feeding, the soil at the base of the bushes must be sprinkled with ash to protect the plants from pests.
