The best time to feed strawberries is when they are in bloom, because at this time the plants require a lot of “strength and resources” to grow a large number of buds, flower stalks and, accordingly, berries.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what kind of fertilizer for strawberries is usually used by experienced summer residents.
The fertilizer consists of several components, the first of which is an infusion of weeds.
Any weeds will do, but it is better to give preference to nettles and dandelions.
When the herbal ferment is ready, measure out a liter and dilute it in a bucket of clean water.
As a second component, it is worth using any "EM preparation", for example, "Baikal M1". For 10 liters of water, you will need 2 tablespoons of "Baikal".
Mix the ingredients and water the strawberries at the roots. One bush will need about 1 liter of fertilizer.
In addition, during the flowering period of strawberries, they can be sprayed with boron - to prepare the composition, all you need to do is dilute 2 g of boron powder in 7 liters of water.
