How to grow strawberries in the Orenburg region - tips from gardeners and gardeners
Planting strawberries: two rosettes in three rows
With the advent of spring, I begin work on closing moisture. A plot dug in the autumn with a rake, without waiting until the earth dries and crusts over, harrow and break all the clods. The plot becomes flat, and the earth becomes loose and breathable.
If there are weeds, I remove them. The ground under the trees and bushes I loosen the hoe and also remove the weeds and all unnecessary therefrom. Pruning and cleaning the site do in the autumn. When the moisture is closed, and the site is cleaned, I begin to sow and plant with a calm soul.
Strawberries under the strawberries make a width of 1 m and plant seedlings along the entire length of the 3 row. I dig the earth with a shovel or pitchfork, I loosen it well. There are no weeds, because there are four years for these beds. I make conditional edges and well spill the garden with water from the hose, then leave for two days. During this time, the land will settle and dry on top.
I take sockets from the beds of the first year - this is the most productive seedlings. Before planting, I loosen the bed with a hoe, I make three rows in length and plant seedlings in the evening.
If you cook it and hold it in the shade in a bowl of water the day before the landing, it will take root much better. I plant two sockets of the same size in each hole: large - with large, small - with small. So that large ones do not oppress the kids, I leave a distance of 15 cm from each other. I try not to deepen the hearts, I do not add humus when planting. The productivity of the bed when planting two outlets in the hole doubles: already in the first year, two peduncles grow on each bush.
In addition to sockets, planted when laying beds, no more left. There are never age-related shrubs. Because strong overgrown bushes depress the weak, and the use of rooted outlets is not enough. When new large leaves grow, you can cover the garden with humus. When irrigation humus supplies the earth with nutrients, and seedlings grow in leaps and bounds.

Why I plant two rosettes and compact?
The leaves with the growth of bushes support each other in an upright position and do not touch the ground, like the peduncles. They are always above the leaves, they bloom with a white carpet, there is no bare earth, it does not overheat in the summer and it hibernates well.
When the crop is harvested, I cut off all the leaves and put them on the paths between the beds, and I clean the beds themselves from weeds, debris, mulch humus (especially bare roots) and water abundantly from the hose. I do not bring in fertilizers so that the plants do not fatten; there is enough humus. Leaves grow very quickly. The beds become like new - green, beautiful, the foliage closes, such a bed leaves in the winter and never freezes.
If between the bushes there is a bare earth with a sparse planting, it strongly freezes and strawberries are difficult to winter.
With the advent of spring, I try not to disturb my berry. I do not clip anything, I do not shovel it. I know that my beds in winter left healthy, green, and everything else nature will do itself. Old leaves of last year dry up and crumble, turning into mulch. From the middle new leaves quickly grow, flower noses rise above them, and you will not have time to look back, as the strawberry starts to keep up.
Varieties of strawberries for the Orenburg region
Grow early Junius Smides (this variety belongs to the group of large-fruited). The berries are large, especially the first, the next slightly more small, but even, bright, sweet.
And further. Because, after fruiting, I cut the leaves, strawberries quickly restore the green mass and again blossom, growing large berries, keep up. The berries are sweet, only not red, but pink, although ripe.
Of the medium-ripening varieties grow Lord and Tener, both American selections. Berries are large, roundish, bright, firm, transportable, do not fall apart, in compotes and preserves remain intact. Still growing varieties Bereginya and Vicoda medium-late - they have conical shaped berries, dark, large. Of the repairing varieties, I have Elizabeth II and a few more on trial.
Sorrel barrier
Reading the magazines about the dacha (I especially like My lovely summer cottage) which I constantly write out for the whole year, I realized what kind of meticulous people the summer residents are!
I read: to make the raspberries do not climb beyond the allotted boundaries, we must sow a row of sorrel in front of her. I have not yet sown it, but I have analyzed my plantings. In one place I have raspberry growing, and in front of it there is an empty piece of land, and raspberries do not move on it, but I want it to occupy this site too. What's the matter? It turns out that earlier there was sorrel.
No beds for a long time, but samosev did his job. And several powerful bushes on this piece of land grow and do not interfere with anyone, but it turns out that they are a barrier to raspberries. I would never have thought that for this reason the raspberries did not move further, but I was now convinced. And I also concluded from my observations that raspberries capture new areas to the south, while in the north they do not move at all. When laying new plantings of raspberries, this must be taken into account.

And four more tips on planting and caring for strawberries
Now I will tell you how to get good harvests in a simple way.
The site should be well designed, leveled, without any sort of weeds. We must once and for all establish an order on the site, and then support it. Let this be your motto! Without this item of good harvest you will not wait.
Do not plant anything, just to plant. You will miss the time and receive a little. Choose trees, shrubs, berries in your climate zone that will meet your expectations.
Be sure to provide watering, without watering plant any seedling is unthinkable.
And before you plant something on your site, find out everything about this plant, and not with someone's words (the truth is not everyone will tell you, and some do not even know it), but read in the directories, the Internet, wherever you can find information. Plan your planting!

From the tire grew ... strawberries
At one time, my uncle bought a cottage plot near Kiev. However, it soon became clear: it is almost impossible to grow something on the soil consisting of clay. Then Ivan Ivanovich dug up huge pits and, filling them with almost half fertile soil, planted fruit trees and berry bushes. But the strawberry gardener (strawberry), the summer resident experimenter “settled” ... in the old car tires.
Completely filled the rubber circles with fertile soil and planted strawberry bushes into it. I noticed that in such "houses" the plants develop rapidly, they fasten many flowers, and then berries. And that in the summer heat black tires reflect sunlight better, painted them with white paint. In total on a site 10 of such tires-beds from which owners in a season collect a good crop of a strawberry. In addition, the berries are always clean and healthy.
