Two cases where it is necessary to remove the flowers on strawberries

In the first year I was gardening strawberries (strawberries) only extra whiskers are removed. And I do not know any farming practices.

Then he heard two cases where it is necessary to remove the flowers. And all! At first I did not believe it and felt sorry for the flowers. Then I saw the result and glad. Lesson managed in one year a substantial part of the harvest losses.

You I do not want to, so I share.

The first case

"Remember or berries, or a mustache" - this was the advice of an experienced agronomist. I understand and remember.

The bottom line is that Bush is weakened by fruiting strawberry. To understand how, once is enough to see the bed of strawberries after fruiting. Instead of fresh green thickets, sticking moist leaves. Whether or not to faint from these bushes to wait for strong mustache?

A bush of force depends on the initiation of berry buds (crop!), And the ability to spend the winter.

Therefore, it is logical to leave a mother bush mustache. On it to pick off all the flowers. It is not critical to, but the new bushes will be strong this year's harvest.

second case

New bushes remontant strawberries (strawberries) in the first year should be protected from their own mustache, and from their own colors. So they went into the winter with a good mass of leaves and an extensive root system. Strength of the roots can be seen on power leaves. After all, they are one.

About his sad experience already I wrote: already knew this method, however, like berries in August, September... As a result, 20 new remontant shrub I overwintered six. Somewhere underground and pests could help, but it went in the winter the bushes 20, and in the spring of fourteen were missing. And most berries usual, not super big and sweet, and a few of them.

So what techniques to remove the mustache and colors separately. The main thing is to use them at the right time in the right place.

I have a strawberry (strawberry), which does not give a mustache, reproduces by dividing the bush. The other variety, ampelnye (he is in the photo), and only gives a mustache, does not follow. Only seat. So, all is not easy :)

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
