Why I did not mow the strawberries after fruiting

"And why should I do?" - this question I always ask myself. And, if possible, I am looking for the answer. I calm down when I find convincing evidence.

So, I do not mow strawberries (strawberries) after fruiting, because something learned. And many knew about this favorite berry. Before I share all the information, I tell why people mow the leaves of strawberries. Perhaps their opinion is convincing for you.

• Tired plant attracts all strawberry sores
• Sick leaves otmiraya be disseminators of infection
• will not form whiskers bush save strength for the winter
• Leaves still die, if not tortured

There are also those reasons that I can not be placed in the same row. And do not even want to comment. They are absurd.

• The root system will develop better, all the juices will accrue to the roots.
• Everybody does it.

The cut leaves of wild strawberry

Further at trimming supporters there is a problem: what to cut? Trimmer is not advised, he would cut what we need, and what you should not. Sterilized scissors, say good. 5-7 cm from the root to leave, hearts do not hurt. Perhaps the authors of this method of growing strawberry bushes 10. And what to do with weaving or two?

Village people scythe mowing. And for truckers is a big problem how to hold it is necessary that the scythe?

Advanced gardeners ploskorez Fokine managed.

A few of my reasons against trimming leaves

• Forest and field strawberries somehow do without trimming
• Any section of this stress, and the gate for infection, although sterile scissors circumcised, the wound is not anoint iodine :)
• It is possible to accidentally cut and kidneys future berries, and damage the heart with the future leaves.
• Bushes not just the mustache will not give, they will grow more slowly, the strength will go to recovery. The roots of 2 times one job will have to do: to grow leaves.
• Leaves - a breath and nutrition. Why roots on a diet and keep breathing in their way?
• And where pathogenic bacteria and fungi disappear when mowing? In the open sections of direct fire. They are not the leaves, they are not sgrebesh, and not clean.

And now the fun. It became known, where the first cut strawberry leaves. The Lenin State Farm, the cows fed nothing to... What I bought for and sold. Old agronomist, was looking for a source of ideas and found.

So, I do not mow the leaves of strawberries and more because they do not learn farming techniques from Soviet state farms.

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
