When preparing the site, apply organic matter in the amount of 5-6 kg / m2 and mineral fertilizers up to 40 g / m2. Next, dig up the bed, and plant the plant after the ground has settled.
Pollination
Everly is a self-pollinated variety. If strawberries are planted in a greenhouse, then they can be artificially pollinated. To do this, use a fan or a regular brush.
Top dressing

Organic compounds containing minerals are suitable as fertilizers. The simplest remedy is wood ash: mix it with water, and pour the resulting composition under the bushes. Infusion of mullein or nettle has the same properties.
One of the important techniques in strawberry care is feeding. Regular fertilization guarantees a rich harvest. There are several different ways to feed strawberries, and each of them is designed for a specific period of plant development. During flowering, fruiting and after it, feeding should be different.
