- Before you start planting strawberries , you need to properly prepare the garden. Dig the ground and make humus.
- The most suitable time for planting strawberries is the month of July, 20-25. Mustaches grow on each strawberry bush, at the ends of which rosettes with 3-4 leaves are formed. It is important to remember that if you decide to plant strawberries in advance, then you need to note in advance, for the year, the bushes that best bear fruit. And next year to make them uterine, that is, cut off all the flowers , and leave a mustache for reproduction. One strawberry bush can produce up to 30 rosettes. And then you get great planting material. Strawberries cannot simultaneously produce berries and give full sprouts. On other strawberry bushes, on the contrary, the mustache must be cut so that there is a full, rich crop.
- Separate the seedlings from the uterine bush (it should already be with a well-developed root system) and dig out with a small lump of earth. Land immediately on the prepared bed.
- After planting the outlets, they must immediately be watered from a small watering can by sprinkling. Seedlings need to be covered with small sheets of paper and watered every day from a watering can 2-3 times a week.
- During August, make 2-3 loosening of the soil to a depth of 5 centimeters, thus, the seedlings will be well accepted.
- Over the summer, a good bush will form and next year these sprouts will give a good harvest.
