As you know, whether raspberries are sweet or not depends on the plant variety.
However, according to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , even the sweetest varieties sometimes do not please with their taste at all, but, on the contrary, become watery and acquire a sour taste.
There are several reasons for this: acidic soil, insufficient or excessive watering, dense plantings... I could go on and on.
However, the main factor is the lack of nutrients, among which the first place is occupied by potassium and phosphorus.
To correct the situation, a remedy available to every gardener without exception will do – wood ash.
To prepare the solution, you will need to add 250 g of wood burning residue to a bucket filled with water and stir thoroughly.
Strain the resulting solution through cheesecloth, after which you can use the liquid to water the raspberries at the roots.
Gardeners recommend applying this nutrient composition 3-4 times a month.
