Today, on its summer cottage, almost all gardeners grow such a culture as a strawberry, despite the fact that it is sufficiently arrogant. Her harvest love to consume most people, so if you want to eat a delicious strawberry, you need to learn how to care for her and that for this you need to know. Let's today with you and find out.
The need for trimming
It is not a secret for anyone that the foundation of a rich crop is laid in the spring period, which is why in the spring you need to pay a lot of attention to the care of strawberries. Creating comfortable conditions for its development is the main task of any gardener, which at the end of the season wishes a large and rich harvest. One of the important activities that directly affects the number and quality of the future harvest is the trimming of strawberries, for this reason, we will consider this process in all details and learn about all its nuances.
First you need to figure out whenever it is best to carry out the pruning of the culture under consideration and what are the advantages and disadvantages of this process. Pruning, like any other preventive culture treatment method, has several advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of the process include the following criteria:
- Cutting off strawberries, you not only get rid of unnecessary parts of the bush, but also from pests, diseases that were able to preserve on old leaves and stem culture.
- Due to the reduction of the overhead part of the bush, all nutrients go into roots, and this, in turn, leads to an increase in the diameter of the root system, as well as the activation of such a process as vegetation.
- Control of the density of the bush, because otherwise (if you do not delete, as it should be, the mustache on the strawberry), the bush becomes unsecured and too thick, and from such a bush, the gardener is unlikely to get a rich and large crop. It should be understood that the necessary amount of sunlight and moisture does not fall into too overgrown bushes, respectively, it does not fully be fully.
The disadvantages of such a process include:
- During trimming, there is a possibility that pests can fall to the ground and then actively start leading their activities that parasitizing the whole bed with strawberries, which is why after trimming the experienced gardeners conduct processing of strawberry bushes, land under them and around them.
- By negligence or inattention, it is randomly trimmed by generative or fruit kidneys, which will negatively affect the future formation of large berries.
- If you dry a bush (cut the most part of the leaves), the root system will allow the root system to restore the green cover, but the growing process in this case can be slowed down, and the root system will not develop in full power.
Some gardeners believe that autumn trim the strawberries is better. It is clear that the share of truth is there, because the cropped bushes are much better tolerated cold. But along with this, it is also worth remembering that the early harvest in this case does not have to wait, because the spring plant will spend a lot of strength to restore green cover and missing elements that were cut by autumn.
Spring Sprinking Scheme
After you remove winter shelter from strawberries, you can already immediately begin the sanitary trim. Most often, this kind of manipulation is carried out in April, sometimes in March. Depending on climatic conditions.
The mustache, which managed to form in the fall, will need to be removed from the bushes before the flowering process begins. Ideal weather for this process - a cloudy day and so that there is no wind. If the day is sunny, then it is better to cut the mustache or after sunset or early morning.
In the spring it is also worth a thorough crop, which includes delivering a bush from outlets and extra leaves. Before starting the spring pruning, it is necessary to analyze each bush, namely, to inspect all the bushes of strawberries to identify damage.
To cut strawberry bushes, prepare all the tools you need:
- scissors
- ceattor
- rake
- hoe
In the spring you need to remove all the leaves that came up, got sick and dried. It should be noted that in the spring it is not necessary to remove the leaves under the root, here it will be necessary to leave centimeters 5 of the bottom of the sheet. In fact, the trimming process is very useful and we have disassembled this fact earlier, but as in any other process it is impossible to overdo it, because excessive trimming will lead to the fact that all the forces of the root system will allow the restoration of these most sheets and stems, so Have this fact in mind.
Remember also the following rules:
- leaves that are healthy, it is impossible to cut in any way
- among other things, it is not recommended to cut out a socket (deciduous type)
Culting process sequence:
- First remove old leaves from the bush and those leaves that dried
- Patients leaves are also removed first
- Use sharp scissors for these purposes or a secateur
- If the leaves or stems are called, you need to delete them manually, because such parts of the strawberry bush are fragile
- The mustache is removed from the deciduous socket at a distance of 5 cm.
As it became clear from the above information, strawberry trimming is an effective event for obtaining a large and rich crop. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it, but to perform everything in the described scheme above.
