Mid-spring is the best time to apply fertilizer to raspberries, because by doing so you provide the plants with a good start, which is the key to a rich harvest.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh named 5 natural fertilizers that will provide the best effect in this period of time.
Manure
For abundant fruiting, it is necessary to mix manure with grass, which should be finely chopped beforehand. Nettle, St. John's wort and wormwood are suitable.
Ash
To prepare the fertilizer, dilute the ash with water and pour the resulting mixture under the roots of the plant. This composition will not only improve the yield of the bushes, but will also help you in the fight against fungal diseases.
Eggshell
To prepare mineral fertilizer, you will need the shells of a dozen fresh eggs. It should be filled with water and left for a week. After straining, the fertilizer is ready for use.
Compost
Compost made from organic waste should be spread on the ground around the raspberry bushes to enrich the soil and improve its structure. Believe me: in response to such care, the raspberry will reward you with large and sweet berries.
Welding
The remains of brewed tea diluted with water are suitable for watering berry bushes. Thanks to the nitrogen contained in the tea leaves, you will be able to stimulate the growth of raspberries and improve the soil structure.
