How and what to feed raspberries in spring
Spring care of raspberry bushes consists of freeing the bushes from shelters, installing trellises, fertilizing, watering, loosening the soil, mulching, pruning and prevention against pests and diseases.
In April, when the air and ground temperatures are warm enough, you can start feeding raspberries.
To do this, you can use both organic and mineral fertilizers.
For example, urea, ammonium nitrate, humus, peat, ash, superphosphate, mullein or bird droppings are well suited for fertilizing berries.
How to feed raspberries using ash
Apply ash in large volumes, preferably once every 2-3 years.
Ash is an effective organic fertilizer, as it contains mainly potassium, but also phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.
These are important nutritional elements for raspberries.
