Preparing for the summer gardening season is a task that requires attention and knowledge.
Correct planting of strawberries in spring is the key to a luxurious and juicy harvest.
We offer recommendations and advice for successful planting of strawberries, which will bring you a lot of pleasure and berries of the highest quality, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Preparing the soil
Before planting strawberries, you need to properly cultivate the soil. First, remove weeds and other plants from the area, then carefully loosen the soil to a depth of about 20 centimeters.
To ensure good drainage, add compost or humus, as well as a small amount of sand. This will prevent moisture from accumulating at the strawberry root and protect the plant from rotting.
Selection and planting of seedlings
Selecting strawberry seedlings is an important stage of the planting process. Choose healthy plants with no visible damage and strong root systems.
Don't forget to take into account the varietal specifics and climatic features of your region. Carefully study the manufacturer's instructions on planting dates and seedling planting depth.
Features of strawberry care in spring
Strawberries require systematic attention and care, especially after planting in the spring. Do not forget to water the plants, maintaining soil moisture within the optimal level.
Weed regularly to avoid competition between plants for nutrients and moisture. General cleaning of the area around strawberries will help to avoid possible pests and diseases.
All the above tips will help you achieve a high and quality strawberry harvest this summer. Proper planting, soil preparation, selection of varieties and care are the main aspects to consider.
By following these recommendations, you will create favorable conditions for the growth and development of strawberries, provide them with a wonderful season and enjoy the sweet fruits of your labor.
