Strawberry bushes are usually covered in late autumn before heavy snowfall.

Snow can also act as a covering material, but for some summer residents this is simply not enough.

They believe that it is important to provide strawberries with all the necessary conditions for growth, and this is not surprising, since the crop is quite capricious.

Let's see what the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh thinks about this.

What is the best way to cover strawberries?

In fact, it’s simple – before a lot of snow falls, you can use spruce branches, poplar, maple or aspen branches for cover.

In this way, you will not only protect the bush, but also scare away rodents, as they do not like these trees, as well as currant and linden branches.

It is important to remember that if there is covering material and a large amount of snow, the crops may rot.
