The end of May is the time to feed your strawberries if you want to reap a sweet and bountiful harvest in June. During the fruit-filling period, plants spend a lot of energy, and without additional feeding, the berries may remain small and sour. One treatment during this period changes the situation.
To do this, you can use an infusion of wood ash or a solution of iodine with milk. Just water the bushes at the root with ash infusion or spray the foliage with iodine composition. After just ten days, you will notice how the berries begin to gain weight and blush faster.
It is important not to skip the filling phase. Fertilizing applied at the end of May not only increases the size of the berries, but also increases their sugar content, and also protects against gray rot in wet weather.
