Reviews about growing strawberries in your garden

Reviews about growing strawberries on their own site the most contradictory. Some cannot boast that strawberries bear fruit very abundantly, others complain that there is only enough to eat, but there are no berries left for harvesting, and especially for sale.

Reading reviews about growing strawberries, I would like to note that the agricultural technology of this plant has its own nuances and subtleties, observing which you can collect strawberries in buckets.

Some tips for gardeners who want to increase the productivity of strawberry beds:

- you shouldn’t weed strawberries down to bare ground - this risks damaging the roots of the plant when removing another pest, and it’s also extra labor.

- it is advisable to cover the strawberries with mowed grass, covering the roots, and not covering them completely. This has a multiple effect (especially if it is not possible to visit your summer cottage more than twice a week): additional plant nutrition, moisture retention in dry weather and preventing the spread of weeds.

- it is undesirable to use film, otherwise the roots may simply burn. You can only cover the paths between the beds with it.

- feed the plants four times per season is best. The composition can be made from a variety of food waste: sour milk, leftover apples, banana skins, as long as they are not moldy. Add some manure and water. A ten-liter bucket requires a liter of infused mixture. Apply as normal fertilizer.It is necessary to fertilize in the spring, after the snow melts, after fruiting, before the winter cold and after flowering.

- it would be good to lead planting calendar, updating the beds every three to four seasons. Bushes have maximum strength in the second or third year - they produce the largest harvest.
