Selection of land for landing
Strawberries plant well after cereal and onion plants. Bushes need a place lit by the bright rays of the sun, otherwise the sugar content and the number of berries will decrease.
Plants cannot stand moisture stagnation. If there is a danger of flooding of landings at the chosen place, then it is better to make a drainage or bulk hills. Otherwise, the strawberries will hurt gray rot. She needed loam with weak acid characteristics, pH 5.5-6.
How to prepare the soil
If you plant bushes in the spring, then prepare the land in the fall, and if in the fall, then dig and fertilize in the spring.
First, scatter the compost or humus 5–7 kg, 45 g of superphosphate and 45 g of potassium sulfate per 1 m²,Dig the ground to the depth of a shovel. Remove all weeds and roots.. Instead of these fertilizers, you can pour Kemira at a rate of 60-80 g per 1 m².

In the spring cut off old or dry leavesFrom the beds remove the top layer of soil 3 cm thick, trying not to damage the roots. This eliminates overwintered pests. The beds are loosened. After the ground, if it was not covered with a spunboid, sprinkle with straw and peat.
Feed strawberries in the second year after landing. In the spring, they make a solution from 1 part of mullein and 4-5 parts of water or from complex mineral fertilizer - nitrophos, pouring 1 tbsp. spoon in a ten-liter bucket of water.
A solution of fertilizer is watered 1 time in 10 days, do it until the bushes bloom. When flowering and fruit formation strawberries are not fertilized.
