How to plant strawberries
You have already decided on the choice of location and purchased or grown seedlings.
We decided how you will grow: in rows, on pyramids, in combs or in bags.
And now the landing.
Let's take the option when you decide to plant your strawberry seedlings in the traditional way.
What to do?
Dig the soil and remove perennial weeds. Add compost. Rotted manure is also possible. But it is better to apply manure under the previous crop. This way young plants will be more immune from diseases. If you are not an opponent of mineral fertilizers, then you need to add more phosphorus and potash fertilizers. But strictly according to the instructions on the package.
The soil should be prepared two to three weeks before planting. If you plant strawberries in newly dug soil, then, after the soil subsides, the roots of young plants will be exposed. Some experts even roll or swat the soil before planting. And only then they outline the holes.
It is better to choose cloudy weather for planting.
What is the distance to choose between the rows and between the bushes?
The recommendations are very different. But it is better to plant strawberry bushes less often. It has been proven in practice that when planting 35 centimeters between the bushes and 75 centimeters between the rows, it turns out very well.
You can water the holes before planting. And the roots of the seedlings need to be straightened and placed in the hole. If the roots of the seedlings are longer than 10 centimeters, then it is better to prune them.
Next, sprinkle the roots with earth up to half of the hole, lightly compress the earth, and then sprinkle to the top of the hole. And seal the soil again. The base of the upper bud of the seedlings should be at ground level. If the planting is done correctly, then pulling the plant slightly up, you will not be able to pull it out of the ground.
It is necessary to make sure that the soil does not get on the leaves. You can also water it after planting.
Is it necessary to plant strawberries in a dark film?
If you plant one solid large strip in several rows, and plan to cover the soil with a film, and then plant bushes, then nothing good will happen. If the water does not drain during the rain, your ripening berries will rot. If you plant on ridges, and each ridge will be covered with a strip of film, and there will be a drain of water into the aisles, then this is already a good option.
The best option is to plant strawberries in dark lutrasil. You cover the ridges with such material. And you make holes.
If you do not use either film or lutrasil, then after planting, cover the ground around the bushes with straw, mown grass. While the bushes take root, they will need to be watered. This should be done carefully so as not to blur the soil, expose the roots, etc. Recommend gay porn gaypornhd.xxx click here.
