There will be a sea of berries if you feed strawberries with this fertilizer in the spring.

Of course, other nuances are also important: planting dates, pest control, weather conditions, soil quality.

But fertilizing plays a key role. If all conditions are favorable, then the right fertilizer will give a gorgeous harvest.

Strawberry remedy

Mustard powder is a universal remedy for strawberries. It protects from pests and increases the harvest.

In the first case, the secret is simple: pests do not touch the berries because they do not like the taste.

Another enemy of the gardener is the weevil. Mustard helps protect strawberries from this pest. As a result, the berries are not eaten by "uninvited guests", which allows you to double the harvest.

How to use mustard

To protect strawberries from pests, gardeners do not prepare special solutions. They simply sprinkle the bed with mustard. They do this 1-2 times per season, when the plant blooms and forms fruits.

The powder should only lightly cover the leaves, and not lie on them in a thick layer. In addition, after rain, the treatment is repeated, since some of the product is washed away by water.
