In the spring, a summer resident must perform several important actions in order to increase the chances of a rich plum harvest.
First, you need to trim the branches of the plum tree. Second, the plant needs to be protected from diseases and dangerous insects (aphids, codling moths, etc.).
Thirdly, it is necessary to moisten and loosen the soil under the plum.
And, of course, we must not forget about fertilizing. Proper spring fertilizing of plums practically guarantees a high yield of the crop.
An important recommendation was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Spring feeding of plum
Before flowering, the plant should be fed with urea or potassium sulfate.
If the gardener has chosen the first remedy, then 2 tbsp. per 1 m2 will be enough. But when applying the second remedy, you need to use 1 tbsp. per 1 m2.
After flowering, the plant should be fed with nitrophoska, which is a source of potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
For a bucket of water - 3 tbsp. of the product. The prepared solution should be poured into the furrows made near the plum tree.
Earlier, summer residents were told whether it is possible to plant currants and gooseberries next to each other.
