In addition to such important procedures as pruning and pest control, do not forget about fertilizing.
After winter, the bush is in dire need of a nutrient composition in order for the raspberry harvest to be rich and of high quality, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How experienced gardeners feed raspberries in spring
As a rule, the choice falls on valuable sources of nitrogen, which is extremely necessary for the bush at the beginning of the season. Fertilizing is carried out quite early, but it is important to wait until the soil warms up a little.
An excellent option would be nitroammophoska. If the soil is dry, first water the bush, and then distribute 35 grams of fertilizer on each square meter of raspberry.
You can also try urea, which will also be a worthy source of nitrogen. For the same area of fertilization, you need to take a little less - 30 grams.
Ammonium nitrate is also an effective remedy. But its quantity should be increased to 40 grams.
