What is the "four beds" scheme: an interesting way to grow strawberries

The most beloved and the very first berry that appears in garden plots is strawberries.

It takes a lot of work to ensure that the berry bush regularly produces a harvest, which requires periodic renewal of the bushes. One interesting option will help here.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about the "four beds" scheme.

What is this scheme?

A simple and affordable option for planting strawberries, allowing you to harvest and always have fresh planting material on hand.

Of course, the soil is prepared for planting and agricultural practices are followed.

The first bed

Here young strawberry seedlings are planted at intervals of 30-40 cm.

The bed must be mulched or covered with special materials to prevent weeds from growing.

Second bed

While the bushes in the first bed are gaining strength to produce the maximum harvest, the berries are collected in the second bed.

It is believed that it is in the second year that strawberries produce their peak harvest.

The third bed

It is intended for growing seedlings, which are then transplanted to the first bed.

The fourth bed

It is a reserve. As is known, the soil should rest, especially after strawberries. Bushes from the second bed are transferred here after the harvest is collected on it, while seedlings grow on the others.
