Correct spacing: an essential condition
Proper spacing between strawberry plants is vital to preventing the spread of disease and ensuring adequate air circulation.
In general, a space of 30 to 60 cm between plants allows each plant to receive enough light and air, thus limiting the spread of diseases and promoting better growth.
Pollination: an often overlooked factor
Pollination plays a crucial role in fruit production.
Effective pollination ensures the formation of generously sized strawberries and increases overall yield.
The contribution of natural pollinators , such as bees, to the garden is therefore essential. Planting honeyflowers near strawberries can help attract these valuable pollinators.
Regular watering – the secret to healthy growth
Irrigation plays a vital role in the growth cycle of strawberries.
Regular watering promotes the formation of strong roots and healthy development of strawberries. However, too much water can lead to root rot. Therefore, adopting a drip irrigation system can be a great solution to maintain the ideal moisture balance in the soil.
Doubling your strawberry harvest is not an impossible task. All you need to do is understand the specific needs of this delicate crop and adopt good agricultural practices. By considering variety choice, soil preparation, proper spacing, pollination, and proper watering, you can turn your dream of a bountiful strawberry harvest into a delicious reality.
