Looking for a bumper raspberry harvest this year? Probably the best top dressing recipe for a Good Yield
How nice it is when the raspberry bushes are strewn with large, juicy berries and their fragrant aroma floats over the entire area! It turns out that in order to feast on raspberries, you don't need to use any chemical or expensive fertilizers! I was convinced of this from personal experience and am ready to reveal to you the recipe for the ideal, perhaps, feeding for raspberries!
To prepare it, you first need to collect a little weed. It is poured into a tank, filling it by 2/3 of its volume, filled with water and left under a lid for 2 weeks.
The aroma from such a plant-based "cocktail" is not the best, but the effect is amazing! The decaying herb turns into a remedy that:
- strengthens the immunity of berry bushes against diseases;
- promotes the setting of more berries;
- increases the sugar content of fruits.
Then, the liquid must be drained. Then, you need to take ordinary yeast. For every 10 liters of liquid, you need 500 g of fresh pressed or 10 g of dry yeast. Plus, you still need to stir 5 tablespoons of sugar in the mixture.
Instead of it, old, that is, candied, slightly fermented jam, will also work. All this should stand for 2 hours in a warm place. Finally, for watering raspberry bushes, 1 liter of the mixture must be diluted with 5 liters of clean water.
I consider it important to clarify that raspberries will not grow by leaps and bounds from such feeding! However, thanks to the activity of beneficial microorganisms from the mixture that multiply in the soil, the bushes will be able to extract nutrients from the soil much more actively and better.
In addition, in the aboveground part, the processes of photosynthesis will intensify, the movement of juices will accelerate.
And yet, I personally noticed such an interesting effect that after this feeding - ripening berries, even if they did not rush to collect them, fall to the ground much less!
In conclusion of the topic, I want to add that it is important to make this dressing at the right time. Namely, at the very beginning of fruiting, when the petals just flew around, and the berries barely began to tie.
In addition, the day of top dressing and a couple of days after, there should be warm weather - only in this case the microorganisms introduced into the composition of the product will work fully.
In such a simple and, what is important, an environmentally friendly way, it is possible to significantly increase the quantity and quality of the raspberry harvest!
