Many people know that with proper care, strawberries will not "offend" you in terms of yield: the berry is a generous crop.
Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with what mistakes can lead to an unfavorable outcome of events.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh believes that it is especially worth highlighting three of the most common mistakes.
What do they consist of?
Place
It is important to remember that strawberries will always need special conditions. The area should be well lit: the crop needs at least seven hours of light per day.
Keep the soil moist but provide good drainage.
Neighbours
Some crops will cause the berry to simply become sick without stopping. As a result, you will have to lose a significant part of the harvest.
The worst place to plant strawberries is near tomatoes and potatoes. It is also undesirable to choose peppers and eggplants for neighboring beds.
Mulching
You shouldn't leave strawberries without a decent layer of mulch. In this case, the chances of a harvest will be significantly reduced. Therefore, choose any convenient material for mulching and use it without hesitation.
