Spring came - to handle strawberries

Good afternoon, my reader. Spring processing of strawberries - the mandatory type of garden work. Every gardener knows that the growing berry bushes begins as soon as the snow has come down. It depends on the correct care, what a berry will be and what to wait for the harvest.

Many gardeners for the winter insulate the bushes of strawberry mulch, sidel or dry grass, use the huskien (branches of coniferous trees). Therefore, the first thing, as the snow melted, we remove the "insulation". It should be burned or away from the garden, as pests and various harmful bacteria could be accumulated in the winter.

Without a "fur coch", the earth begins to warm up faster. Together with the shelter, we remove the dry leaves, who fugged the roots, check the tubers themselves. If necessary, we are replaced by fresh, young bushes. All that was removed from the bed should be burned.

Then the garden loose and leave in this form. It is possible to pour water with the addition of potassium permanganate (mangartee) for the prevention of diseases and pest control.

Good formation of green mass contributes to feeding with nitrogen fertilizers. Most often apply organic and mineral fertilizers:

1. Divide manure in water in proportions 1:10. Water on 2 glasses under each bush. The chicken dry litter is also suitable (dilute 1:12) or herbal water infusion (weeds, nettle).
2. Very loves strawberry nitrogen feeding. You can purchase them or complex fertilizers. In specialized stores there are already ready-made feeding for strawberries. In this case, act according to the instructions.

Processing is trying to carry out strawberry blossoms. But if the diseases began to develop later, then it is better to use biological preparations or folk remedies. From drugs you can allocate "phytodeter" or "actovyr". To drive insects will help the ash - slightly twist the bushes.

Strawberry loves mulching - during the flowering period, it is possible to cover the beds of straw or another mulch (recycled grass, bark of trees). It is best to use fir or pine chew.

Some gardeners prefer to cover the beds with strawberry by observing material. It protects from weeds and helps to hold moisture in the soil. However, it is necessary to carefully relate to this method. Especially after melting of snow. Be sure to check in the spring, as the strawberry feels and what state of the soil under the material. Infrequently, but still it happens the formation of mold and fungal diseases develop. Pay attention to the state of the root system of strawberries. Not always, the material passes well enough to moisture, and water can be stuffed.
