Those who have come across strawberry cultivation know how painstaking and responsible it is. Here it is important to show maximum efforts during cultivation - to provide fertilization and watering, then a high-quality harvest will not take long.
Below are all the components on which the final result will directly depend.
The soil
The key to any good harvest is a balanced soil rich in all essential vitamins and minerals. If the soil does not have an ideal composition, then before planting strawberries, it can be adjusted using special components.
Illumination
Strawberries are very light-requiring berries. Surely on the site you will not find another such culture, which also depends on sunlight. Therefore, strawberry beds should have a special position - from north to south, then they will be under the sun most of the day.
Predecessors
You can not randomly plant crops one after another. Here, as in many other sciences, there are rules and nuances. So, strawberries will feel comfortable if carrots or greens were previously grown on this plot of land.
Neighbors
The main thing is not to plant tall plants next to strawberries, which will create unnecessary shadow on the berries.
Radishes, carrots, perennial flowers are perfect for neighbors.
Strawberry planting scheme
Each bed should be at least half a meter away from the other. The distance between the bushes should be at least thirty centimeters.
Many gardeners prefer to grow berries using spunbond or plastic. What are their pros and cons?
Spunbond
Firstly, spunbond perfectly permeates water and air, and this immediately excludes the process of root decay. The soil will be ventilated and receive water evenly.
Secondly, spunbond prevents weeds from sprouting, which draw beneficial properties from the soil.
Thirdly, using this material, the bushes will not be injured from sudden changes in day and night temperature regimes.
Film
Firstly, using a film, the soil will warm up much faster, and therefore it will be possible to plant crops in it earlier.
Secondly, the price for this material is much cheaper than for the same spunbond.
Planting process
First you need to prepare the beds. Then you need to spread the selected material and cut holes in them, the distance between which will be at least thirty centimeters.
Then it's up to the little, plant strawberries in the "windows" and wait for the first fragrant fruits.
