At the beginning of summer, strawberries require special attention.
June is the time when there is still an opportunity to increase the harvest of sweet and aromatic berries. To do this, you need to take into account a number of nuances.
Watering
During this period, strawberries should not be left without watering. It is necessary to regularly moisten the soil if there has been no rain for a long time. On hot days, strawberries are watered abundantly - 20-30 liters per 1 sq. m of plantings.
Pests
At the final stage, pests may suddenly attack. Therefore, it is worth inspecting the strawberries periodically.
If a pest is noticed, you can use a biological product or get rid of the insects mechanically.
Mulching
Weeding and mulching will solve several problems at once. You will have to water the bushes less often, the risk of diseases or pests will decrease, and the yield will increase.
Top dressing
In June, strawberries can be watered with ash infusion. At this time, nitrogen is not as necessary for the bushes as potassium and phosphorus. A glass of ash should be poured with a liter of hot water and the solution should be infused for a day, then add 9 liters of water and water the plants at the roots - 1 liter per 1 sq. m.
