Zemlika is a hybrid created by breeders based on the crossing of grades of garden strawberries with a strawberry Milan. As a result, the plant was inherited such wonderful qualities as frost resistance, resistance to peating and short-term temperature differences. Zemluban is little susceptible to gray rot and, importantly, a yield, with small labor costs.
The first and most important requirement is the choice of a well-lit plot. The more the sun, the better the zemlik will feel. You can allow unguarded landing in the aisles of young trees. But in this case, you need to carefully follow the humidity of the soil and watering the landlord even during a minor drought I grow it only on solar beds. The sooth is a weakness, so we bring a dolomite flour, which reduces acidity and enriches the soil by magnesium.
Before planting the soil on the garden, I refuel Organic: 3-4 buckets of overwhelmed manure on sq.m. Be sure to add wood ash, (up to 1 kg per square meter) and comprehensive fertilizer according to the instructions. It is very important that it contains chlorine. If you make the soil as I do, it is not necessary to feed the plants during the first year.
You know that the weather in our region leaves much to be desired. Winters are often misunderstood, but frosty periods are also happening or, as last year, the snow can cover it without frozen soil. Summer is more often cold and rainy. In such years, you will throw out rotten berries anymore than we bring high quality. Therefore, in my opinion, from the method of planting the "carpet" in our conditions it is better to refuse. In more southern regions - please. There and the sun more, and the air is land. It is also important that I do not allow your plantations to be thickened on the second, third and fourth (if necessary) year.
Now about the landing. I make a bed with a width of at least 1 m and landing young sockets in 2 rows with a distance between them - 40 cm. Between the rows - as it turns out, because it all depends on the width of the bed itself. By the way, its edges restricting the boards. Their width should be such that the upper edge (side) rummaged over the soil by 5-10 cm. There are many advantages in this:
1. The sideer gives the same effect as in the girings of the mittlider (less than weeds and so on);
2. I do a strawberry bed, as a rule, for 3-4 years, and the boards do not allow rain and thawed waters to break the edges;
3. It is convenient to engage in quickening both the cartoons and paths;
4. If the area is closed with dry leaves or a needle, they do not inflate them;
5. Moisture and feeding fall directly to the roots of plants, and do not flow into the passages between the beds.
I am engaged in the landing in April or in September, as the garden, garlic, beans, cucumbers, early cabbage is released. I try to prepare the soil in advance. The more time it "rests", the better the planted young sockets will feel.
If forming a bed in April,
That previous autumn at this place is definitely growing Side-Rati (oilseed radar or white mustard).
In the next publication, I will try to talk about how I manage to grow berries, the size of the palm, to win in the fight against disease, without hurting the useful insects and its own health
• Our advice
Zemlove can land around flower beds. So you will save the place and decorate your garden. After all, besides the fact that the plant beautifully flowers and pleases the abundance of berries, the bustles remain green leaves with whom they happen, go under the snow. If there are a lot of flower beds, then around each can land one certain grade of landlords.
