If you take the right steps during this period, you can &#8220;pick berries by the bag&#8221; in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it important to fertilize strawberries in the fall?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After summer fruiting, the plant is very exhausted, and the soil also loses a lot of nutrients. At this time, strawberries form new roots and lay flower buds, which will turn into abundant flowering in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, without autumn fertilizing, there is a risk that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the berries will be small and sour,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bushes will go into winter weakened,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>some plants may freeze,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>yield will drop significantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agronomists advise using organic and mineral fertilizers in September, but special attention should be paid to&nbsp;<strong>wood ash<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why ash is an ideal fertilizer for strawberries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wood ash is&nbsp;<strong>a universal organic fertilizer<\/strong>&nbsp;that not only saturates the soil with nutrients, but also improves its health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its main advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>contains\u00a0<strong>potassium and phosphorus<\/strong>\u00a0in a form available for absorption;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>enriches the soil\u00a0<strong>with calcium, magnesium, boron, sulfur<\/strong>\u00a0;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>normalizes acidity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>inhibits the development of pathogenic fungi;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strengthens the immunity of plants before wintering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts advise using approximately&nbsp;<strong>150\u2013300 g of ash per 1 m\u00b2<\/strong>&nbsp;of strawberry bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to properly apply ash: two ways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two proven methods for using ash to fertilize strawberries in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.
