Spring of landing of garden strawberry (wild strawberry) winter months - heartrending experiences for them look weakened. In April the gardeners need to feed up bushes and also to hold number of simple agrotechnical events for leaving that eventually the rich harvest will bring.
Before starting fertilizing of strawberry, it is desirable to carry out preparatory work. After thawing of snow and establishment of positive temperatures the strawberry bushes clean from last year's leaves. It is possible to make it by means of lawn rake. But the leaves struck with fungi, having red-brown spots surely cut out and burn. Then carry out superficial scarification. Scarification around bushes needs to be made surely.
After carrying out preparatory work start fertilizing. As a part of the first fertilizing in April there has to be nitrogen. It is necessary to plants for growth of leaves which then will feed berries.
Urea solution, full tablespoon on 10 l of water will be the most available. Spend about a half of liter of solution for adult bush. Any fertilizing should be carried out on the humidified soil! If it is expected that weather ""zadozhdit"", it is admissible to bring fertilizer granules in the soil and to close up them by loosening method.
Urea (carbamide) can be replaced with classical mineral fertilizers: ammonium nitrate, nitroammofosky, nitrophoska. It is possible to use special fertilizers for strawberry and wild strawberry. Good recommendations has fertilizers ""Gumi-Om berry"" where in structure both organic chemistry, and mineral water. Useful will also be mullein infusion introduction.
If bushes need further additional fertilizing before blossoming, they can be fed up once again, applying complex complex fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). The wild strawberry is sympathetic on introduction of microelements on leaves. When carrying out such fertilizing the harvest increases, and bushes are ill less. The Tsitovit fertilizer - one of the most qualitative also contains nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, microelements in chelate form. Especially manganese, pine forest, molybdenum, zinc are necessary for growth and harvest of strawberry.
The excellent assistant for strawberry - wood ashes. About it it is worth to remember if it is available for you. Dusting ashes bushes, we destroys fungal infection, we frighten off wreckers and we bring fertilizing. Spring nettle infusions are effective.
After root fertilizing it is required to zamulchirovat the soil under bushes, or to make loosening when the top soil slightly dries up.
In April it is also desirable to carry out processings of strawberry plantation from diseases and wreckers.
The main thing when fertilizing garden wild strawberry is to observe measure and it is excessive not to be fond of nitrogen fertilizers before blossoming of bushes. Otherwise the ""fattening"" plants will not yield long-awaited rich harvest.
