In the spring, you must definitely find time to feed the strawberries, otherwise dreams of large and sweet berries in large quantities will remain dreams.
Before spring comes, it is important to decide on the fertilizers that will need to be applied to the beds.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to feed strawberries in the spring.
Summer residents can choose from folk recipes, organic or mineral additives.
How to feed strawberries
1. First, you need to tidy up the garden bed and remove old mulch, leaves and other vegetation.
2. Then you need to carefully loosen the soil.
3. Choose a fertilizer. It is believed that at this time it is better to add mineral supplements that contain the nitrogen necessary for the plant.
How to fertilize strawberries
You can add urea by preparing a solution of 25 grams of fertilizer per 10 liters of water.
Ammonium nitrate (25 g per 10 liters of water) can be used with the same success.
How to use organics
Basically, chicken droppings and manure are used, which are dissolved in water and left to infuse for several days.
What to use for feeding
People practice adding wood ash, in dry form or as a solution.
Iodine (one drop per liter of water) is also used for spraying.
Yeast-based fertilizers are no less popular (2 packets per 2 spoons of sugar and 3 liters of water). Infuse for one hour and use for watering.
