Autumn strawberry care: 6 steps
HOW TO CARE FOR STRAWBERRY IN AUTUMN
To get a good harvest of strawberries (garden strawberries) next summer, pay special attention to the plants in the fall. At the beginning of October (in dry weather with an air temperature of at least + 10 degrees), just six simple steps need to be performed.
1.For sanitary purposes, cut off all diseased and damaged leaves with garden shears (do not tear off with your hands!). At the same time, weed out the remaining weeds.
2. Spray the aerial portion with the following mixture: 1 tbsp. Farmayoda, 2 tablespoons Fiyulavina, 5 tbsp. Fitoverma, 1 pack of Liposam bio-adhesive per 10 liters of water (this is the composition of the finished biological product The gardener's first aid kit). Such treatment will save the plantation from most diseases and pests hidden in the leaves for the winter.
Z. Under each bush for light embedding, add granules of the biological product HB-Yu1 (5-6 pieces per plant). This is useful for boosting the immunity of strawberries, which can easily tolerate low temperatures as a result.
4. Under the root around the bushes, pour sifted ash (preferably hardwood) - 0,5 tbsp. per plant. It contains a lot of potassium, which stimulates the formation of flower buds.
5. Mulch the soil around the bushes and between the rows with straw, grass cuttings or fallen leaves. Mulch will retain moisture and keep the soil from freezing.
With a steady cold snap, cover the strawberry spunbon house with a density of 30-60 g / mXNUMX (depending on the region). This non-woven fabric will trap snow in winter, which will become a warm blanket in cold weather, and in spring - a source of moisture.

ADVICE FROM YULIA KONDRATENOK, KAND. C-X SCIENCES:
The best shelter for garden strawberries for the winter is spruce branches. Warm the planting with them when the frost begins to grab the soil. No spruce branches? Add a little mulch - peat crumb, compost.
But be careful with spunbond: although it is breathable, if it is laid on plants on non-frozen ground, it can further provoke planting support. Yes, and mice like it under such a shelter.
