If you have a raspberry patch on your plot and the raspberries are already gathering berries, you should take measures to get a large harvest of delicious berries.

To do this, reminds the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , it is necessary to add the correct nutritional compositions under the bushes.

Those who prefer mineral fertilizers should take a closer look at potassium fertilizers or, as a last resort, at complex mixtures for berry bushes.

For example, you will need 1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water.

Supporters of organic farming have a much wider choice.

So, you can fertilize the raspberry patch with ash, preparing a solution of 0.5 liters of wood burning residue and 10 liters of water.

Another option is a herbal infusion. To prepare it, you need to fill any container with weeds and fill the voids with water, and after a week, dilute the resulting concentrate with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.

We should not forget about the benefits of potato peelings. However, they should be considered as an addition to mineral water, and not as an independent fertilizer.

Pour 1 kg of peelings with 10 liters of boiling water and after 24 hours, water the raspberries with the resulting infusion.
