Many summer residents forget about strawberry plantation after gathering berries. Remember it only in the spring of the next season. And it is vain because future harvest of large sweet berries is put at the end of summer.
Before starting fertilizing, bushes should be examined carefully regarding damage by their diseases and garden insects wreckers. Having carried out all necessary phytosanitary works, including cutting of mustache, we start fertilizing.
At present strawberry demands the strengthened power supply up to September. But it is impossible to give strong concentrates of fertilizers at their liquid entering into the soil. It is better to feed up bushes 3-4 times, but weak doses, doing intervals in 10-14 days.
In the first fertilizing it is possible to give organic chemistry for recovery of fertility of the soil, ashes. It is possible to pour compost or humus to each bush.
Application of ammonia solution of 10% for simultaneous fertilizing by digestible nitrogen and soil cultivation from diseases and wreckers will be successful. It is necessary to dissolve two tablespoons of ammonia in the 10th liter capacity and to spill in advance humidified soil around strawberry bushes. It is not desirable to use such solution on leaves, burns are possible. After such watering, strawberry quickly increases the new sheet device.
Will be suitable for growth of leaves and mineral power supply Here too is the choice: Nitrophoska, the Azophoska, fertilizer for Strawberry and others.
Then, in the middle of August it is necessary to switch to introduction only of the fertilizers promoting the best preparation of bushes for the forthcoming wintering and laying of flower kidneys. We apply the Fall fertilizer or we prepare it, mixing sulfate of potassium and superphosphate. We take on one tablespoon of double superphosphate and sulfate of potassium and we dissolve in 10 liters of water. Expense on liter floor on each bush. It is undesirable to use chloride potassium. If in fertilizing mixes there are such components as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, then power supply will be more successful and it will be reflected in harvest increase in the next season.
At the end of summer, strawberry also needs rykhleniye of the soil and waterings at dry weather.
