Ideal time for the first feeding up of this berry culture is the spring. Approximately at the beginning of May introduce nitrogen fertilizers with addition of wood ashes (20 g of urea mix from 60 g of ashes on 1 sq.m.). They are driven in the soil near plants on depth no more than 5 cm important that fertilizers did not concern the root system of strawberry in order to avoid burns. Also for the first fertilizing it is possible to use mullein infusion. It is parted with water 1 to 6 and draw three days. Then add wood ashes and water plants. After that it is necessary to spill properly strawberry normal water that fertilizers were dissolved in the soil.

Also at this moment it is possible to water strawberry with complex fertilizers like Ryazanochka or "Madam".
The third fertilizing of strawberry in the middle of the summer

For the third fertilizing use 25 g of superphosphate and 15 g of chloride potassium on 1 sq.m. bring them on depth about 3-4 cm in row-spacings not to damage the main part of plants. Also any complex mineral fertilizers containing not enough nitrogen will be suitable for this feeding up.
