Pruning - when it is necessary, when there is no

The unequivocal answer whether strawberries pruning, can be given. You yourself have come to the conclusion, after examining the plant.

Young strawberry that you planted this year or last, you need to leave a la naturel. As well as the adult bushes with absolutely healthy, strong and green foliage.

It is very important. If strawberries are signs of disease and the presence of pests, do not hesitate - cut away everything. During the winter the problem does not resolve itself and will return next year.

Healthy leaves left on the plant before winter, even beneficial. They perepreyut, land. Yes and will be a natural protection from the severe frosts. But trimmed bush looks aesthetically. So, decide)

All mustache trimmed uniquely

Engage in cutting strawberries can be a month after the end of fruiting. Most importantly, leave stumps height of about 5 cm. Because the flower buds (and they are already included!) Will be safe. And the remains of the shoots will delay the snow, creating around the roots "thermal pad" - protection against frost!

We carry out general cleaning

Cutting the strawberry grower gets to the ground. The Action Plan is painfully familiar: weeding, combined with loosening. The optimum depth - up to 5 cm, because it will not hurt the roots.

Collect and blow away all residues remaining after the pruning and weeding. So you destroy potential breeding grounds for infection. Who and what was hidden behind the summer - unknown) For the same reason, it is necessary to replace the layer of mulch.

sanitary works

Your strawberry hurt over the summer and was attacked by pests? Just a couple of months, could not use chemicals. But, no matter how they were protesting against the opponents of the "poison", the effectiveness of the special funds in the tens of times higher than the SOD-soaps, vinegars and other rubbish (sorry).

But in September he unties our hands. So, please, take care of the health of strawberries. Use special preparations. Exactly as it is written in the instructions.

Autumn feast for strawberries

Fertilizing in September, need only one strawberry, which is not fed immediately after fruiting. Potassium (Potassium-magnesium, potassium salt, fertilizers marked "autumn" is made only up to 20 numbers, or the substance does not have time to act properly.

Tip: simply sprinkle the granules under the rain or under watering

Did not make it? Nothing wrong. Just fill in this gap in the spring.
