Growing strawberries

It is desirable to grow the local area-that is, proven class. There is no need to chase for the latest advertised - facing things in advertising is not needed. For the breeding of good varieties of berries is one taken from a neighbor, or bought on the market. If you are, of course, confident that the fruit from your area. In Moscow in May, strawberries do not happen. Can individual craftsmen to produce a film or in greenhouses, but with a sense of strawberries will not.
For reproduction should be allowed to mature berries, hence seeds. If a berry covered nitochkami any fungus, zagnila earlier time - a better throw. At the most suitable seed berries that have begun podsyhat, become a candied fruit. Razomnite them, fill the water and let them naturally zabrodit - tiny seeds then become better separated. Gently wash the mass under a jet of water on the tea-strainer with the smallest yacheey, yet it does not remain alone seeds. Them and dry the hide before sowing. In late February, the capacity to prepare the soil, increasing its acidity to 5.5 units. If the substrate is about one-third of lowland peat - no doubt that the acidity is not optimal. You can buy a suitable ground in stores, by the way, and seeds, too.
The best sowing the seeds evenly on the ground, and then fill them polusantimetrovym layer of your substrate, and pour. Close the foil or zasunte container in a plastic bag - a week later will be tiny rostochki. When they give 2-3 leaves, they need to dive - the best to plant in a separate tank from the dairy package in the cup from under the cream in another box. In May, should be to plant рассаду on the beds. In the same season, you can expect that some plants even give the first fruit.
Will, if the conditions for laying of flower buds. Under normal circumstances, this takes place in July and August, sometimes in September. This requires a corresponding temperature, and good illumination. The earlier planted strawberries, the greater the fall to lay the floral buds. Therefore, it is necessary to seek to lay the strawberry plantations as soon as possible. It is best in July, early August.
Once removed the last berries, strawberries are best skew. Why? To enhance the growth and removal of the beds with sick leaves. If very poor soil, you can podkormit solution manure or poultry manure 1:10 - 1:20, at a cost of half liter at the Hive. Or a solution of complex mineral fertilizers, not forgetting that it is feeding. After cutting, remove a mustache and old iron rake leaves, I shed margantsovkoy strawberries, boric acid and zinc sulphate - a rate of 2 grams each item to 10 liters. Be sure to add a bucket of potassium humate - in accordance with the instruction. And with the help of лейки processing beds. A few days later, begins a rapid growth of leaves - rich, green and healthy. So far they have not grown, fertilized peat planting, trying zadelat him into the ground. In winter, the plants go quite strong and ready for a new bearing. To avoid vymerzli winter, my wife and I harbor lapnikom whole strawberries in a single layer, and then only rarely - if you overdo it, the fall or spring without the air roots of plants can vypret. If the expected harsh winter, then fall again feeding potassium humates - he is wonderfully enhances Frost-resistance.
After the harvest must be ruthlessly removed from the beds all diseased plants. Define these are not difficult: small leaves, an abundance of spots, sometimes curled - a dangerous viral infection. As a rule, sick of the plants, which in winter or spring podmerzli podopreli roots. Such a plant is better to replace the beds. Preferably the first rosette with Usa nearest healthy plants. The first socket is the most vitality and productivity. Generally it is desirable to use for reproduction, only the first outlet, in an extreme case - a second or even third, if the seed is not enough.
In Europe, particularly in Germany, the plantation lay through mustaches, collect the harvest for the coming year and field perepahivayut. It is believed that the young plants for the second year gives the maximum yield, and then become ill, lower productivity. When belt method of landing process can be mechanized, and the summer they have not in our sample is much longer and supportive, so that the plants in excellent conditions, develop and go in the winter it is a soft vyzrevshimi. And we can break in August, the first snow fall is often chilly and extremely rotten. Do not have time to grow young plants, especially if the landing outlets missed the best time. The one with the best agricultural crop timing. So in order to acquire these best agricultural deadlines can podraschivat outlet, not separating from the uterine bush mustache. As soon as a усе the first rozetochka with one or two tiny root - Put it in the cup. It can be buried in the soil, make holes in it, so that water does not stagnate. Cut services to the point of tying the second outlet. Then, when the plant podrastet, you do not traumatizing root lobe, you can plant it on a permanent seat. With this method is guaranteed to receive next year's harvest.
Sometimes, to combat disease, after cutting the strawberry beds covered with a transparent film. In sunny day, the film is not removed, it dramatically increases the temperature of the disease and die. There are even exotic way: after cutting prozharivat beds torch. I read that some time after the plant alive and heals. Do not try it. If you want to try this method, the first prozhgite lamp at least a small part, but not all of his strawberries.
In spring, when the earth Ott, lapnik removed. Removed and that have spotty leaves, planting food to the newly margantsovkoy, boric acid and zinc sulphate. If the strawberries out of the winter weakened, sometimes very carefully, with 5-10 grams in bucket, add nitrogen fertilizer, preferably urea.
Before the blossoms have to spray strawberries «Inta-WIROM» or «spark» - one tablet in the bucket against the weevil. If your station last year was not so insidious pest, do not give in to complacency - weevil can fly from a nearby site where there is a strawberry or raspberry. And if you begin to spray strawberries when they are already flowering vengeance, when on every bush a few heads drooped on tsvetonosah - weevil there already laid an egg, have a peduncle to provide the best conditions for the development of larvae, the treatment of little help to the plants, but will destroy bumblebees and bees.
For weevil repellent I sowing on strawberries bulbochki garlic. They say that garlic deters pest. If, of course, the weevil is aware that he should boggle the garlic, then this may be so. I Bulbochki sowing more for rejuvenation of their varieties of garlic - if it is to plant from year to year, Zubkov, it degenerates. But know that the weevil can not tolerate the blossoming elder branches or resinous Spruce wood chips, if they are decomposed by strawberries.
Sometimes in the winter frost as it is squeezed up the strawberry bushes. Of course, the finest damaged roots, but you can help misfortune. In two ways. First: fill the space between the bushes of land, preferably peat. So that the neck was at the root level of the soil. In this case the plant does not peresohnet and root system will recover quickly if the strawberries podkormit nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers. Nitrogen will stimulate the growth of leaves, and phosphorus - the restoration of root lobe. The second way: loosening, if vypiranie little to level the soil and root neck match. But in this case is difficult to do without podsypki. There is a third way - excavation of all the plants, increasing space for it, while feeding. In essence, this change, and it is justified only if the class is very valuable, or landing very young, whose root lobe has been modest, that's vyperlo.
There are quite a number of ways of growing strawberries. For example, constructing a pyramid of old tires, cut them in the hole, put there Strawberries, mostly remontant. Some strawberries are grown under black film - did not try, because it seems to me that water in this case, each plant. And if zavedetsya a film of a fungus, as to reach it? Without the film accounts for two to three times per season to remove weeds, but it is useful for plant loosening.
Or, to speed up the ripening of berries covered with a transparent film of the beds. This method is relevant if you live permanently in the country, if a significant rise in temperature, can remove the tape. If you arrive at the station once a week, where a guarantee that your plants do not suffer?
Unfortunately, in the horticultural literature you can find anything, not just the table of acidity for different cultures. Why? Because the authors zazreniya without conscience peredirayut from each other, and their experience, as a rule, not even after the cultivation of geraniums on the windowsill. Oh what a colorful packages of seed companies, where the seeds of at least the minimum, but you will not find anywhere to indicate what the acidity needed for growing plants. Actually it seems to me that often the seeds are sterilized in the packaging - to buy more and more frequently. Therefore, do not like gardening publications that specialize in advertising space seeds, spread about the individual seed.
