After winter hibernation, raspberries need to replenish nutrients, since the resources were spent during the cold period.
Therefore, it is difficult to overestimate the role of the first feedings.
What fertilizers do experienced gardeners use at the very beginning of the season?
Ammonium nitrate and urea
Landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", reminds that in early spring raspberries require a large amount of nitrogen.
Therefore, small trenches should be dug near the bushes. We put 10 grams of ammonium nitrate and urea into them.
Then we cover the fertilizers with a layer of soil and water them. In order to enhance the effect of nutrients, we mulch the ditches with humus.
Potato
This is the simplest and most accessible means of increasing the raspberry yield, so it should definitely be used. You need to prepare regular potato peelings.
Then the food waste should be buried next to the raspberry bush. Over a long period of time, the bush will be provided with a whole range of nutrients.
