Perhaps, in this world you will not meet a single person who would be indifferent to this delicious garden berry.
Among gardeners, too, no one will refuse to have a berry bush in their area bear fruit abundantly.
Large sweet strawberries are the pride of any gardener.
Not everyone succeeds in growing a rich strawberry crop.
Most often, gardeners are content with a rather mediocre harvest - the berries grow small and also sour, despite the fact that modern varieties allow, under favorable conditions, to have up to one and a half kilograms of berries from one bush.
Moreover, most often the cause of a poor harvest is pests and pathogens.
In addition, in order for the strawberries to grow healthy and not be touched by pests, it is necessary not only to spray the bushes with chemistry, but also to remove last year's dried foliage in time.
If you do not remove the dried leaves and do not treat the soil with antifungal drugs and insecticides, all pathogens and pests will remain to winter in the soil, and in the spring the ascended leaves, and then the flower stalks, “attack”.
During the flowering period of strawberries, treatment from pests and pathogens will no longer give such an effect.
In order not to lose part of the crop, dried leaves should be removed immediately after harvesting and not wait for autumn, and even more so for the next summer season.
You will not cause harm, since strawberries reproduce with a runner and are able to build up a green mass quite quickly.
