Experienced gardeners know that you can get a lot of large and tasty strawberries only with proper care of the plant.

One of the mandatory procedures is rejuvenation of plantings, which must be carried out 1-2 times every 4 years.

If this condition is neglected, the berries will be small and there will be very few of them.

To rejuvenate strawberries, many gardeners prefer to use a method called pinching, when the bush is cut flush with the ground.

The stump remaining on the surface of the earth must be watered with iodine solution. To prepare it, you will need to dissolve 1 teaspoon of iodine in 10 liters of water.

The final stage will be sprinkling with ash.

A few weeks after this operation, you will see that new rosettes have begun to appear at the cut site.

In addition, the result of minting is the active development of the young root system, including the appearance of young lateral roots.
