Feeding the raspberries in August and in the fall for a large crop next year

About currants I wrote. Raspberries also requires fertilizers in order to gain strength and are not only easy to spend the winter, but in the next year in the spring already, so to speak, to "plan" a major crop.

But before the fertilizers and preparations for winter raspberries should be cut off from the very old branches and remove unwanted undergrowth near the roots.

This year, the summer is a very cool and rainy. So now, in August, I (the Volga region) are not watered the bushes. I think it is enough moisture in the soil. But here it is necessary to fertilize the necessary minimum to fill spent the summer harvest forces.

First you need to examine the raspberries, not purchased there leaves a dark emerald color rich, not visible any new shoots soon enough. If so, eliminate nitrogen fertilizer until next year, and so overdone. When such symptoms raspberries will be hard winter, and next year the harvest can not expect large.

Who are too lazy to bother with organics and who do not mind a little to invest in the purchase of fertilizers, can advise potassium salt, superphosphate (usage instructions on the packages are usually applied).

But traditionally I want to recommend all the mullein solution, a solution of chicken manure. I also apply the tincture of sideratnyh plants (mostly lupine, it is possible with the roots), or hogweed and other green grass.

Before watering infusions and solutions can be sprinkled with crushed siderate dense bed ash is not more than one glass (when there are no signs of excess nitrogen) and pour over the ground can be peat.

But after irrigation mulch on top of another green-manures, green (you can not chop up already), lupine, mustard, phacelia. Periodically, as the mulch will pereprevat, it is necessary to report to another until the first frost. Then you can be sure that the root system will withstand winter frosts, and the soil around at the same time will be fertile.
