Ash

You can prepare an infusion of ash according to any recipe you like. This remedy is not only an excellent disease prevention, but also serves as a feeding function.

Ash will be especially useful during fruiting.

Mullein

One liter of the main ingredient is infused in a bucket of water. Afterwards, the prepared composition is used to water the strawberries.

The procedure should be carried out twice. The first time we "treat" the berry before the flowers appear, and the second time already at the flowering stage.
