    Our site is located in the lowland. Every year we bring the land, we try to raise the level of the garden, but the berries do not grow yet. And I love so much strawberries! Is it possible to provide the cook with comfort conditions on such soil?

      The most effective way to get rid of groundwater is to build a drainage system on the site or at least a drainage ditch that needs to be dug along the perimeter of the site. If this is not possible, it is necessary to make high beds. On such beds it is easier to care for the plants, the frame is quickly assembled and disassembled, and the crop matures faster at a height. The frame is made of boards, slate, plastic, rods. The height of the walls of the frame from 0,4 m to 1 m - optional. The length of the beds is -1-3 m, the width is 0,5-1 m. For better plant growth, more than 2 rows should not be done. Then the frame is filled with soil and soil, and you can plant anything, including garden strawberries.

    I grow strawberries in one row between grapes (the distance between plants is 2-2,5 m).
    In September, I planted specially grown rosettes, the next year I harvest, for the third year I take off the second crop and start growing seedlings. In 200-gram cups of sour cream, after making holes in the bottom, I plant the outlined rosettes, not separating them from the mother's bush, and digging the jars into the ground. The rosettes quickly take root, filling the entire capacity with rootlets. And in September I take out jars from the ground and plant ready-rosette-bushes on the prepared bed. Not experiencing stress, the bushes continue to grow and leave in the winter strong and healthy. And I dig the old bed and sow the siderates.

    3 secret sweet strawberry
    On one of my beds with garden strawberries, the harvest was not bad at all, but the berries were unsweetened. A familiar summer resident explained what could be the reason and what to do to ensure that the berries were always delicious.
    Strawberry garden loves dark gray soils and black earth. On others, it fructifies poorly, grows small, without pronounced taste. Therefore, in the spring on strawberry beds you need to make humus and mineral fertilizers.
    Under no circumstances should a moisture deficit be prevented. On dry soil, the berry will not be large and juicy. However, if you overdo with irrigation, waterlogging can cause fungal diseases in strawberries.
    Strawberry seedlings need to be planted at a distance of 45-55 cm, in a checkerboard pattern. This is necessary so that all plants have enough light (otherwise the berries will be unsweetened), so that they are well ventilated and that it is more convenient to care for them - to loosen the soil, remove the mustache and, of course, harvest.
