How to care for strawberries in May
With the onset of spring, and already closer to May, the question arises of caring for strawberries. This incredibly tasty berry requires special care. We focus in more detail on the peculiarities of caring for strawberries at the end of May.
Inspection of strawberries after winter
Immediately after the snow thaws, we recommend that you visually inspect the bushes with strawberries. If dry leaves and shoots are found, they must be carefully removed. In addition, you can find all sorts of pests, which also need to be removed.
It is best to shallow the soil around the bushes and remove any existing weeds.
Abundant watering
After inspecting the strawberries, do not forget about watering them. With the arrival of spring, each plant needs new strength to grow. Thawed snow for watering is enough for literally two weeks, and after which the plant will begin to dry out.
Strawberries bear fruit mainly in May-June, so you should not neglect its careful watering.
Feeding strawberries
Strawberry care in the spring also includes feeding it. You can find a wide range of drugs in gardening stores, but use proven ones.
So, after the appearance of the first leaves, the bushes need nitrogen. The most acceptable proportions in use - 0.5 liters of nutrient mixture are poured under 1 bush. Further, during the period of budding, it is necessary to feed the bushes with potassium. Use a similar proportion to avoid burning the bush.
Disease protection
In May, most often you can not notice the manifestation of those other signs of disease. In this case, only insecticides will help, which must be applied strictly according to the instructions.
Moreover, their use is effective as a result of systematic processing. Remember that a single use will not give the desired result.
