Place and time of boarding

Before proceeding with planting, it is necessary to take into account the fact that adult bushes are quite spreading. Therefore, there should be about 40 cm between the seedlings, otherwise the plants will not be able to produce a high-quality and abundant harvest.

Landing place

The bed should be flat and well warmed up by the sun. It is not recommended to plant strawberries in higher and lower areas. In both cases, the bushes will not develop correctly.

It is also worth abandoning a site that is planted with trees on at least one side. Even a slight partial shade can lead to excess moisture, which can negatively affect the development of the root system.

Time to board

The best time to plant is early or mid spring. The seedlings will quickly take root and begin to grow, but you should not expect a harvest this year. Fully Asia will begin to bear fruit only next summer. Therefore, many summer residents plant it in the fall, at least 2 weeks before the first frosts begin.

In order for the berries to be large and juicy, in the first year you need to break off all formed antennae. Thus, the forces will go to strengthen the root system.

Soil composition

Asia develops poorly on wetlands, as well as on acidic and limestone soils.

Strawberry Care Asia

1. In spring, strawberries are watered only when the winter was little snow.
2. Abundant irrigation should be done during flowering.
3. During the formation and maturation of the crop.
4. Immediately after picking berries.

If there was little rain in the spring and the soil is too dry, then irrigation should be started from the second part of April. In the period from May to July, the bushes are watered no more than 3 times every 30 days. In the fall, moisten the soil once every two weeks.

During the flowering period, it is best to apply a drip irrigation system.

Also, do not forget about loosening the soil. This should be done systematically and best of all immediately after rain. The first loosening should be done in early spring. But before starting the procedure, you will need to scatter saltpeter between the rows (10 m² plot of 120 g of fertilizer). You need to deepen the hoe no more than 10 cm. It is important to take care not to damage the root system. Otherwise, the bush will stop growing and dry out.

Preparing for winter

In order for the plant to overwinter well and give a bountiful harvest, it is necessary to add to the soil in late spring phosphorus-potassium preparations... Root collars, which are above the soil surface, sprinkle with soil and mulch.

To keep the strawberries from freezing, it is recommended to cover them with straw, leaves or sawdust. Spruce branches are also a good option. It is often used by summer residents on their plots. And all because of good air permeability, which is very important for plants.
