Site selection and soil preparation

The area chosen for strawberries must be prepared several days before the intended planting. A well-lit location is ideal.

One square meter of plantings will need a bucket of composition. You can increase the yield by adding wood ash to the soil mixture.

When planting seedlings, the root collar cannot be deepened. For the first 2 weeks, young plants need to be watered every day with water at room temperature.

The soil for strawberries should be saturated with organic matter. The plant grows best on light loamy or sandy loam soil. Black soil and gray forest soil are also excellent for cultivation. It is undesirable to plant strawberries on clay soil.

One bush uses 0.5 liters of the composition. Organics are used 2-3 times per season. The first time the plant is fertilized in early spring.

At the end of summer, it is recommended to use a nitroammophoska. Dilute one spoonful of granules in a bucket of water. 0.5 liters of fertilizer are consumed per bush. Foliar feeding shows good results. Many gardeners also choose boric acid. For 10 liters of water, you will need 5 grams of the product.

Vivara's garden strawberry easily tolerates severe frosts, due to which it has become widespread throughout Russia. In areas with snowy winters, it is not necessary to cover the bushes. The snow cover will be enough to protect the strawberries from frost. In regions with an unstable climate, it is advisable to cover the plantings.

Making it at home is easy. 10 drops of pharmaceutical iodine are dissolved in 9 liters of water. The concentration of iodine is increased 10 times if the bushes are attacked by powdery mildew. In order not to burn the leaves, the water is replaced with milk.
