Loamy or loose sandy soil is suitable for growing. However, the soil should be free of stones, weeds and other debris.
Nevertheless, soddy-podzolic soil reduces the growth and fertility of the plant to a minimum.
After planting, the plants are well watered and mulched with peat or humus.
The classic way to grow strawberries is in a bed covered with dark covering material.
If the weather is sunny after planting, the plants are shaded with freshly cut grass, newspapers or a thin covering material such as agrospan.
Caring for garden strawberries involves watering, removing tendrils, preventing the spread of diseases and applying fertilizers.
Water the bushes with settled water as the soil dries out. In hot weather, spray the plant daily with a spray bottle.
Trim yellowed leaves and vines regularly.
The optimal frequency of watering strawberries is once every 7-10 days, depending on the amount of precipitation.
If there is a lot of rain, watering is stopped.
In this case, rainwater is sufficient. In addition, in case of particularly heavy and frequent precipitation, it is recommended to cover the strawberries with film.
This is due to the fact that excess moisture can harm the crop.
