Tips for growing strawberries
- The most important thing is to properly prepare the soil. It must be fertilized. The plane must be horizontal. If you are using land with a lot of weeds, then it is better not to dig them up, because after rotting they will create an excellent microbiological climate.
- It is better to carry out the initial planting of strawberries using a sheet of roofing material. Small cuts are made in it, into which strawberry bushes are placed. Don’t forget about water, otherwise the plants won’t take root.
- Since the ground is covered with roofing felt, there will be a minimal amount of weeds. But also keep in mind that the water will also evaporate slowly, so you cannot water the strawberries very often with this method of growing.

This is the first time I’ve heard about roofing felt when growing strawberries! It is clear that there will be no weeds. How to water it? In every bush? Is it possible to water strawberries like this?
For strawberries, the most important thing is fertilized soil. In the first year of transplanting or planting a new variety, we tear off the tendrils and flowers so that the strawberry bush takes root well.The next year there are a lot of berries and they grow to a normal size, regardless of the variety.
Instead of roofing felt, I use black covering material, I also make holes and plant strawberry seedlings in them.
Instead of roofing felt, we use thick plastic film. To allow water to seep into the soil, we make many holes in the film with small nails: weeds will not crawl through such a hole.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WAS SO MUCH TRIED TO GROW NOTHING WORKED UNTIL I FOUND A VERY INTERESTING SITE WHERE ALL THE TYPES OF GROWING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE DESCRIBED IN VERY DETAIL, IT IS INTERESTING HERE IS THE SWEET.
The main thing when growing strawberries is moderate watering. If you overfill it, rot will appear. Drip irrigation is popular, by the way. To keep the berries clean, cover the bushes with straw.
In the village, when we grow strawberries, we cover each bush with straw to prevent weeds. We tried using black plastic film, but it gives off a lot of heat and sometimes it breaks. And where it is torn, weeds grow.
