One of the important conditions for caring for garden raspberries is preparing the bush for winter. An unprepared berry bush will also survive the winter, but the difference in yield can be significant.
If everything is done correctly this season, then the next harvest will be unprecedented.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to prepare raspberries for winter.
Maximum efficiency
There are many folk variations on the theme of feeding raspberries.
But you can truly prepare your berry bushes for winter only if you apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
What to use
Gardeners should pay attention to superphosphate and potassium magnesium sulfate.
The advantage of mineral fertilizers is the ease of their application, dosage calculation and guaranteed effectiveness.
How to proceed
You can prepare a solution or simply scatter the fertilizer around the bush.
For one square meter you will need half a glass of superphosphate and a third of a glass of potassium magnesium sulfate.
It is better to work the fertilizer into the soil if you apply it in dry form.
Thanks to fertilizers, raspberries will grow well and produce a rich harvest.
