Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist agronomist and landscape designer, told how to feed raspberries.
When to feed raspberries
In general, the bush is unpretentious. The main thing is to know what and how to properly feed the raspberry bush.
Therefore, the first feeding should be planned for April.
At this time, the soil is already completely warmed up and organic or mineral additives can be added.
How to feed raspberries
You can use ammonium nitrate or urea (1 tbsp. per sq. m).
Of the organic matter, raspberries prefer manure, humus or droppings (1 kg of manure or droppings is diluted in 10 liters of water, after which the bushes are watered).
Humus is added at a rate of up to 5 kg per square meter.
How to feed raspberries
