In the fall, it is a high time to be engaged in preparation of strawberry for wintering as during fructification she has spent useful substances therefore she needs additional fertilizing. Nutritious elements will help plant not only to worry winter, but also will create at it more vegetative kidneys the next spring that considerably will increase productivity.
Autumn fertilizing of strawberry is carried out from September to October, combining it with cutting of leaves, application of fertilizers after established period, can negatively affect winter hardiness of plant. Berry bushes are loved, both organic chemistry, and mineral substances. I suggest to consider in more detail some types of fertilizing for radical power supply.
Bird's dung
The bird's dung enriches the soil with phosphates, restores its microflora, optimizes acidity. But this fertilizer very aggressive, use it only in infusion as in pure form it is capable to burn gentle backs of strawberry. For mixing of mortar take 1 part of dung and mix it with 12 parts of water, properly shake up and let it stand within week. Water with ready infusion row-spacings, but fertilizer should not get on strawberry sockets, otherwise the plant will die.
Yeast
Barmy fertilizing is considered one of the best for strawberry, thanks to it, at plant the resilience to diseases increases, the immunity becomes stronger and fructification increases. For mixing of mortar add to bucket of warm water 10 gr. dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar, insist several hours, and then dilute the turned-out mix with water in the ratio 1:5. Water bushes at the roots, on 10 plants 5 liters of the diluted fertilizer will be required.
Wood ashes
Ashes are considered universal fertilizing, it is very quickly acquired by the soil, enriching it with potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. For strawberry it can be used as in a dry form - scattering it under bushes (150 gr. on sq.m), and in solution for spraying. For preparation which mix 2 glasses of ashes with boiled water liter, boil thoroughly mix half an hour, cool and dilute with 10 liters of water, and then spray bushes.
Nitrogen
This mineral fertilizer will take care of future harvest, berry after such fertilizing will be large and sweet. Part 1 tablespoon of urea in 10 liters of water, water with the turned-out solution each bush, in calculation of half of liter of mix on one plant. But you remember that nitrogen should not be abused as strawberry can begin to increase green material at winter, and berries the next year will be tasteless.
Potassium
Fertilizers, on the basis of potassium, strengthen plant roots before the winter period so prepare solution from 30 gr. potash salt and 10 liters of water. Carry out watering under each berry bush, and in couple of days to zamulchiruyta the soil straw or sawdust.
When fertilizing strawberry, be not overzealous, otherwise the excess of nutrients will lead, to death of plant even earlier, than there will come the winter. But at competent leaving, berry will please with the sizes and tastes.
