    Another important point is the choice of soil. On sandy soils (although some are trying to do this), large yields of strawberries are not to be expected. Why? The answer is simple: sand conducts water well into the subsoil. Therefore, with abundant watering (including prolonged rains), useful substances do not have time to be absorbed and go down, being washed out. And if watering is poor, then the plants die of hunger, as I wrote above. Loamy and sandy soils containing humus and nutrients are mainly suitable for growing strawberries.

    In short, we need a "golden mean". And do not let the water stagnate in the beds! To keep it dry under the bushes, I use different methods: I put sawdust, lay straw, put props or tie bushes so that the branches do not bend under the weight of berries.
