Autumn is a time to think about next year’s harvest. Do you dream that in the new season strawberries will grow by leaps and bounds? There's a great life hack. Quickly and without hassle, multiply the plant by dividing the bush. How to properly prepare the bed and plant correctly, said gardener Dmitry Kastritsky.
In our gardens, as a rule, large-fruited strawberries grow, which we are used to calling strawberries, as well as small-fruited strawberries. Just as small-fruit strawberries are a very valuable berry. Its main advantage is that it produces crops throughout the season – from June to October.
Strawberries can be reproduced in several ways. The first method is sowing seeds, and the second is dividing the bush. The division of the bush should be carried out at least once a year, in extreme cases - once every two years. This is necessary to ensure that the bushes are rejuvenated in a timely manner.
- 1.Reproduction and rejuvenation: the culture is propagated by seeds or division of a bush; it is necessary to divide the bushes for rejuvenation every 1-2 years.
Before landing, you need to determine the place. The best precursors for small-fruit strawberries are legumes, onions and garlic. After them, the berry will grow just fine. We dig the bed and prepare the holes for landing. It would seem that strawberries are an oversized plant, but bushes grow very quickly. Therefore, between the rows leave a distance of 60-70 centimeters, and between the bushes - at least 30, and preferably 40 centimeters.
- 1.Planting rules: plant after legumes, onions or garlic; observe the distance of 60-70 cm between rows and 30-40 cm between bushes.
Next, we dig out our strawberry bush and carefully divide it into parts with our hands, so that several outlets remain on each, and then plant it.
After planting in the hole, be sure to irrigate so that the soil is compacted and there is a good coupling with the roots. The bushes quickly take root in a new place, in the spring they go into active growth and the whole season will give a bountiful harvest.
If you have not yet planted strawberries in your garden, be sure to do so, because it gives a rich harvest of mature, fragrant and healthy berries.
