How to properly propagate strawberries with a mustache in August.

You don't have to buy seedlings to propagate strawberries on your property. Take a close look at your plants in the garden and you will see that at the end of July you yourself are the happy owner of high-quality seedlings.

The mustache, which stretches from the strawberry bush in all directions, had time to take root and give young plants.

The most important thing now is not to miss the time to plant a new strawberry garden. The most suitable period for this is from August to October. If the strawberries are planted later, they will not have time to take root before frost and will be much weaker next year as a result.

True, the weather plays a very important role in landing. If there is not enough moisture and the weather is dry, hot, it is better to wait a little with the transplant.

Still, a lot of moisture will be required for successful rooting. If you have the opportunity to provide young plants with regular shedding, then you can start planting in any weather.

How to properly propagate strawberries?

I always mark the best strawberry bushes as long as there are berries on them, so that I can take seedlings from them. You can use the most common sticks for this, which just stick in the middle of the bush.

It is best to use those young bushes that come first from the mother bush for further reproduction. They will be the strongest and retain the best qualities.

We carefully separate the young bush from the old one and dig it out without damaging the roots. Then we transplant to a permanent place.
How to properly prepare a strawberry bed?

First, strawberries love the sun. The soil for this plant must be nutritious, so apply nitrogen fertilizers when digging.

Secondly, the distance at which you plant the strawberries is important. I leave about 50 cm between rows because I am weeding using a cultivator. The distance between the bushes is at least 25 cm.

Thirdly, I put wood ash into the hole, which will help the young plant better break through.

Following these tips, next year you can already eat delicious strawberries from these bushes.
