The most beautiful and delicious berry is the strawberry. If it is properly looked after, then the harvest will be large. Not everyone knows how to properly care for her. This article will tell you what and how to do.

It is better to plant strawberries in sunny places so that they are sweet. Water abundantly so that the berry is juicy. But do not overfill, otherwise it will be watery and tasteless.

You can transplant strawberries in the spring, well-fertilized land. It is better to plant bushes in the late afternoon, so that the sun does not damage, and so exhausted plants. Before planting, the bushes should be cleaned, old leaves removed, leaving only three things. Straighten roots.

Planting strawberries in the ground in the fall also has its advantages. The advantage is that in the summer it will already be possible to collect bountiful harvest. And strawberry bushes planted in spring will give the first harvest only next year.

In hot weather, strawberries should be watered at least three times a week. Be sure to loosen the soil after watering. Pick off mustaches and weeds.

To protect strawberry bushes from pests and diseases, calendula and marigolds can be planted between the rows. And parsley will scare away slugs.

Good for mulching strawberries. Pine needles are suitable for this. They must be laid under each bush with a layer of five centimeters. Mulching will protect the berries from dirt and retain moisture.

Strawberries greatly deplete the earth. Therefore, it is better to transplant it every 3 to 4 years to a new place. And plant new bushes all the time. Remove the old ones and throw them away. The old bush will not give good harvest.

The amount of harvest directly depends on the quality of the bushes purchased for planting in the ground. It is better to take bushes planted in small pots or containers. When transplanted, such bushes will take root better and faster.

In mid-May, the first flower stalks appear. At this time, you need to feed the bushes. You can fertilize with humus, ash or potash fertilizers. To have more strawberry inflorescences, you can treat it with a solution boric acid. In proportion to one ten-liter bucket of water, 1 teaspoon. During the flowering of strawberries, it is imperative that the site is clean of weeds, carefully watered, and the soil without a crust is loosened. After all, loosening the soil is “dry watering”, which all plants love so much. And which is very useful for good growth.

It is better to start watering strawberries from mid-April or the end of April. One bucket of water per square meter. Such watering should be done once a week. The water should be at a moderate temperature, not cold. In summer, in the heat, it is better to water every other day. It is better to water early in the morning or in the evening when it is not so hot. You need to water very carefully so that water does not get on the leaves and flower stalks. Good to use during flowering drip irrigation. For this, a drip tape is used, which is laid in a labyrinth and connected to a water source.

Strawberry cultivation and care

1. Choose a site for landing. The sunniest clearings on your site will suit strawberries - the longer the time it is in the sun, the sweeter the berries will be. The best predecessor for strawberries is potatoes. We refuse sites on the slopes, where the winds are walking and moisture does not have time to soak into the soil, as well as those located in the lowland, where, on the contrary, water stagnates. Soil pH should be neutral.

2. We apply fertilizer. Humus and nitrogen fertilizers are best applied a few days before planting. Under each bush it will be good to lay a peat tablet.

3. We make out a bed. The height of the beds above ground level should be 10-15 cm for easy weeding and cleanliness of the berries when harvesting.

4. Planting strawberries. In the garden, it is necessary to make holes for each bush, the distance between them is about 30 centimeters. Pour water into each hole and plant the roots vertically, lightly sprinkling them with earth. Watch the core of the bush - you can not fill it with earth or dig in. Pour the soil with water between the beds at the rate of at least 1 liter per bush, periodically loosen the soil and wait for the harvest.



Underwater rocks:

Spring planting of strawberries requires the mandatory removal of flower stalks in the year of planting, since she needs strength to form a good bush;

Strawberries do not like weeds - you will have to ensure their timely removal or plant bushes on spandbond (non-woven covering material);

Mustaches grow on strawberry bushes at great speed - you have to constantly cut them off;

Birds and slugs can harvest for you - the most cunning and nimble will be able to feast on the sweet berry, so you have to try to be the first in time.

Selection of planting material




It is better to buy seedlings, since growing strawberries with seeds is a rather troublesome and time-consuming process, and you will receive a crop at best in a couple of years. Plants should be with shiny, leathery leaves, rich green. Make sure that they are free of spots, dots and not shriveled, as these are diseased bushes. Choose seedlings with a well-developed core - so you can get a rich harvest. Study strawberry cultivation videos on the Internet, as sometimes it is better to see once than to hear and read a hundred times.

There is another very important point to increase productivity and palatability strawberries - mulching. Use humus or peat, straw, sawdust or dry grass as mulch and you will provide strawberries with constant top dressing and retain moisture.



A huge plus of mulching:

Protection against infection with gray rot;

Increase in productivity up to 40%;

Reducing the ripening period to two weeks.

Tall blueberries will delight you with delicious juicy berries only when proper care. It is important to know how to plant blueberries in the country and properly care for them. She grows on acid peat and well-drained soils.

Choose seedlings with a closed root system. The phase of full fruiting begins from the age of 4, therefore, from a 3-year-old seedling, a good harvest can be expected already in the first summer after precipitation. The only disadvantage of such 3-5-year-olds is the high price.

First, try your hand at growing blueberries on inexpensive annual seedlings from a nursery in your area. Before planting blueberries, think carefully about where to place them. Choose a well-lit, protected from the piercing northern winds.

The ideal solution is to buy a special substrate for blueberries with a pH of 3.5-4.5. But you can organize excellent conditions for development and good fruiting on your own. To do this, you need to collect lowland black peat, mix it with the ground from coniferous forest and pine needles in a ratio of 2:1:1.

planting hole for blueberries 60X50 cm is needed, the bottom and walls are loosened. 50 grams of sulfur can be added to the soil mixture. It is needed to acidify the substrate. Instead, you can water the plant with a solution citric acid(three teaspoons per bucket of water).

Into the landing pit do not apply any fertilizer. Tall varieties blueberries should be planted at least 1 meter apart, preferably in checkerboard pattern.

How to plant blueberries from a container?

Watering is carried out as the topsoil dries, especially in the first year and during the laying of flower buds in July and August. Useful in hot summer spray with cold water.

Blueberries practically do not need fertilizers; in spring, you can fertilize 1-2 times with nitrogen fertilizer in a light concentration.

Secrets of King Solomon. How to become rich, successful and happy Scott Stephen

generous person gets a lot more than it gives

Other pours generously, and more is added to him; while the other is thrifty beyond measure, and yet grows poorer. A charitable soul will be satiated; and whoever makes others drink, he himself will get drunk.

Proverbs 11:24–25

Generosity is one of the human qualities that we most admire. Whether a child donates their allowance to a disaster or a businessman donates millions to charity, we appreciate such deeds and admire their nobility. But social approval and admiration are by no means the only benefits of generosity. In addition to sincere joy from helping others, Solomon argues that the generous will never know the need, but will prosper and multiply their wealth, they say, he who generously gives will return everything with interest (Proverbs, 11:24-25). Does this seem impossible to you?

Psychologists say that the two most important driving forces in human life are the desire for profit and the fear of loss. Solomon assures us that generosity affects both of these forces. How much would you pay for magic wand, one wave of which could provide you financially until the end of your days? And Solomon gives you this wand, and all that is required of you is to become truly generous.

What does Solomon really mean when he talks about generosity? The word he uses generally denotes a person who willingly sacrifices a large part of his fortune for the needs of others, without expecting anything from them in return. Despite the fact that he means primarily material generosity, you should not limit yourself to it alone. Being truly generous means being attentive to the true needs of others, whether in what form this attention is expressed: in money, deeds, or in emotional support and participation.

But what happens to those who are not generous? Solomon claims that poverty awaits them. And not necessarily material poverty, but mental poverty. After all, they are always dissatisfied with what they have, and constantly crave more. They become poor in spirit. Generosity is born in your soul. And it should be manifested not in words, but in deeds.
