The old strawberry bushes, the worse they will be fruit. So that the plant pleased you with a rich harvest, strawberries need to periodically disassemble. The most sweet and large berry grows on two-year-old bushes, so you already decide which bushes you can pick up in one year, and which in the next one.
What is strawberry dissipation
The dispersion of strawberries is called such two cases:
- Locking rooted strawberry mustache on a separate bed.
- The division of an adult bush into several pieces and putting them on the old or new bed.
How to dispute strawberries in rooted mustache
Almost everyone has all varieties of strawberries, after her fruiting, begin to grow so-called mustache. Mustache is long flexible shoots with several leaves at the end.
As soon as the end of escape will grow three or four young leafs, substitute plastic cups with nutritional soil. In the bottom of the cups, make holes for removing excess water when watering. So that young bushes reliably hooked behind the ground and let the roots, pinch them with metal brackets. Make brackets from thick wire and set them at a distance of 2 cm from the center of the future strawberry bush.
When a new plant is rooted and gives 6-7 good leaves, cut off the long vacations in two places: near the old uterine bush and near the new young bush. Remove the new bush from the cup right from the ground and put it in the open ground.
Cabstone with a cup in the ground do in August. It is necessary in order to the onset of colds of strawberries could be rooted on the garden.
How to disassemble strawberries dividing bush
You can share the bushes at the end of summer (August) and spring (May). To do this, old bushes dig out of the ground. Gently shake with the roots of the earth. Divide the bushes on the so-called horns (decene) - help yourself with a thin sharp knife. Follow the individual bushes to have blond roots. Thick horns with thick orange roots mercilessly throw away. Next land the horns to the prepared beds.
How to disseminate strawberries on a bed
Properly divide the bushes of strawberries on the horns or grow them in a cup - this is a rather responsible stage of dispersion. But if new bushes put in the ground it is wrong, then all the works can go as shock. In the photo you see how new bushes need to be placed in the ground. Watch the root neck to be at the garden level. If the strawberry will be too breaking too much - it can be started, if it does not bother at all - bushes are dry.
Any dissolved strawberry requires further care. This refers: feeding, watering, removal from the beds of weeds. To make it easier for life, try new bushes on special beds, covered by agrofiber. It will not give to germinate the weeds and will save moisture under the bushes. About the technology of such a landing is described in detail in this video.
