It costs nothing to improve the quality of the strawberry harvest. The berries will grow sweet and aromatic, and for this only 3 feedings are enough. In addition, the care is beneficial for the plants themselves - the bushes become more lush and brighter.
This is the main condition that must be met in the spring.
First, you need to remember when to feed strawberries, and then what to add.
First feeding
It is held no later than mid-April, but the dates may shift in one direction or another, depending on climatic conditions and the weather itself.
During this period, it is necessary to add nitrogen, which stimulates the growth and development of plants. From nitrogen-containing fertilizers, summer residents choose a solution of urea or nitroammophoska.
Second feeding
It should be planned for the period when buds appear.
Nitrogen is left until better times and the emphasis is on potassium fertilizers. This can be potassium nitrate or an infusion of wood ash in water.
Third feeding
After the first berries begin to appear on the bushes, you need to add a third of the fertilizer.
A solution of boric acid promotes fruiting and berry growth.
It is enough to apply these fertilizers in a timely manner and not to forget about the basic rules of agricultural technology and you will only be able to admire the harvest.
