The main criterion that should be followed when choosing a place for strawberry bushes is the degree of illumination of the beds. It is recommended to plant them in the sun, in fertile soil rich in fertilizers. Since the root system develops superficially, it is not necessary to deepen the nutrient medium. It is enough to dig up the beds with the addition of deciduous humus or organic matter, and then let them settle.

The shrubs produce enough pollen during the flowering period. It is not necessary to additionally stimulate the formation of ovaries using cross-pollination.

In order to get a plentiful and rich harvest, Bounty strawberries have to be fed regularly. Before fertilizing, the soil is abundantly moistened, otherwise the roots can be burned. The first stage of feeding occurs in the spring, before the leaves appear. The plant needs nitrogen, so fertilizers are introduced into the soil to stimulate the growth of green mass.

Then, already in the summer months, but before the ovaries appear, the bushes need sources of potassium. Complex fertilizers that additionally include magnesium work well. After flowering, the plants are powdered with wood ash, at the same time fertilizing the soil and repelling harmful insects. At the end of September, when the harvest is harvested, the bushes are fertilized with potassium-phosphorus compounds. Such feeding will help provide plants with a comfortable wintering.

And also it is worth protecting the bushes from verticillosis, root late blight. Among the pests, the most dangerous is the strawberry mite; treatment from it is mandatory.

Experienced gardeners recommend that you must mulch the soil in order to preserve the beauty and purity of the fruits during the harvesting period.
