September is coming soon. The raspberry harvest has long been collected.

In other words, the fruiting of raspberry bushes has come to an end (unless we are talking about remontant varieties).

During this period, the exhausted plant needs help. The fruit crop needs potassium and phosphorus.

It is advisable to replenish the deficiency of these microelements in the soil before the end of the calendar summer.

The summer resident still has time to feed the plant. But what kind of product should be used?

How to feed raspberries at the end of August

Take a standard bucket and pour water into it. The liquid should take up almost the entire volume of the container.

Add one tablespoon of superphosphate and potassium sulfate.

The result will be a solution that should be used to feed raspberries in the last days of August.

As another additive, you can use unburned wood residues (maximum 1 glass).

If the gardener does everything right, he will probably collect a lot of berries next year. Do not forget that ordinary raspberries bear fruit on last year's shoots.
