Raspberries are a healthy and nutritious berry rich in vitamins C, A, B, PP and beta-sitosterol. Fruits in their natural form or raspberry teas improve immunity, are useful for problems of the gastrointestinal tract, help with kidney disease, hypertension and anemia.
However, often, instead of sweet and rich berries, pale and watery ones grow in the garden. How to feed raspberries during fruiting – read the material GLOBAL HAPPENINGS.
With a lack of trace elements: potassium, calcium, sodium, manganese, boron, raspberry bushes begin to bear fruit poorly. There are other causes of watery berries, in particular:
- incorrect watering regime;
- overheating or waterlogging of the root system – the roots are recommended to be mulched with agro-fabric, organic or vegetable mulch;
- lack of top dressing – the pulp becomes loose and loose;
- overheating in the sun.
At the fruiting stage, nutrient mixtures should be added to the soil.
Mineral top dressings, in particular those containing potassium, will be ideal. Complex mixtures for berry crops are suitable.
To prepare potash fertilizer, dissolve 1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate in ten liters of water and pour raspberries under the root.
Among organic fertilizers, experts recommend choosing wood ash. In a container of 10 liters of water, add 0.5 liters of ash.
Herbal infusion will be no less effective. Fill a container a quarter full with chopped weed and fill with water. The solution should be infused for at least a week. Then the concentrate should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10.
Potato husks can be used as an addition to mineral fertilizers. Pour 1 kg of husk with 10 liters of boiling water and leave to infuse for 1-2 days. Then water the bushes with potato infusion.
