Growing strawberries requires good nutrition for good fruiting. Today you will learn how to prepare a truly high-quality fertilizer that will help you get a rich harvest.
In order for strawberries to yield faster, it is important to provide them with nutrients that promote healthy growth, flowering and fruiting. Potassium is an important element for fruit development. Using a high-potassium fertilizer, such as one with a "K" marker on the package, can help produce healthy, juicy strawberries.
Organic fertilizers such as compost, humus or organic mineral fertilizers can provide strawberries with a variety of nutrients that are needed for healthy growth and yield. Phosphorus promotes the development of the root system and the flowering of plants. Using a fertilizer with a high phosphorus content can support the formation of flowers and further fruit development in strawberries.
Strawberry fertilizer recipe
- 1 cup of humus (or compost);
- 1 tablespoon of fish blood;
- 1 tablespoon ground bone meal (if available);
- 1 tablespoon of loose microrice;
- 1 liter of water.
Mix all the dry ingredients (humus, fish blood, bone meal, micro-rice) in a large container or bucket. Add water and mix well to form a liquid fertilizer. Cover the container with a lid or film and leave for a day or two to infuse. Spread the fertilizer on the ground around the strawberry root zone. It is recommended to use this fertilizer once a month or as needed during the growing season. Avoid watering the leaves, as this can cause curling of the leaves or the development of fungal diseases.
The addition of trace elements such as magnesium, iron, manganese and boron can support the plant's nutrient balance, which is important for optimal growth and fruiting. It is important to consider the nutrient needs of strawberries and use fertilizers according to the manufacturer's recommendations and local growing conditions. Regular and appropriate feeding will help ensure healthy growth and a larger strawberry harvest.
