Strawberries are one of the most popular garden crops.
But to get large and sweet berries year after year, you need to take care of the plantings. Particular attention should be paid to fertilizing.
Gardeners note that iodine is beneficial. Fertilizer based on this pharmaceutical preparation disinfects the soil, increases plant immunity, destroys fungi, which ultimately leads to increased yields. The quality of berries also improves.
It is better to use the product in spring.
How to prepare top dressing
You need to take:
- purified water – 10 l;
- iodine tincture – 10 drops;
- wood ash – 100 g.
First, you need to boil some water, and then pour boiling water over the sifted ash. The product should be infused for about 5-7 minutes at room temperature. Then you can add iodine.
Before use, you need to water the beds with clean water. Then you can pour two glasses of the solution under each bush.
Two or three treatments before flowering are enough to improve the yield.
