It is not so easy to grow strawberries outdoors, because you have to deal with many unfavorable factors. And yet, knowing all the main principles regarding the cultivation of strawberries, you can achieve excellent results.

• Landing site

The most suitable site for growing strawberries will be the one where cereals and legumes previously grew, since such plants are believed to be able to disinfect the soil and loosen it. But virgin soil is also perfect, the main thing is to dig it up thoroughly. Otherwise, any other piece of land that has had a rest of at least one year will do.

In addition, it is important to consider that the strawberry area should be sufficiently open and illuminated by the sun, but at the same time well protected from the wind. In winter, the open space will be protected by a layer of snow, which plays an important role in protecting the strawberry bushes. Otherwise, next year the berries will be too small.

• Fertilizing the earth

An important condition for good growth and ripening of strawberries is fertilization with humus. Also important is the mineral feed in the form of phosphorus, nitrogen and potash fertilizers, applied in the autumn or spring. Another effective method is the introduction of wood ash before digging the earth.

Plant seedlings necessary in early spring, late summer or at the very beginning of autumn. Before planting strawberry seedlings, make sure that the root system of each bush is well developed.The beds should be one meter wide, and the holes between themselves should have a distance of half a meter, which will help the seedlings not to thicken. The final stage is abundant watering after the bushes have been planted in the holes.
