Compliance with the rules will entail stable, high yields that will delight throughout the warm season. Caring for Dutch varieties is not too complicated, and you only need to follow these instructions:
- The best place to grow strawberries is loamy and sandy loam soils with low acidity and moderate alkalinity.

- If it is planned to plant strawberries in the spring, then the site should be prepared in the fall. If you intend to plant bushes in the fall, then the site can be prepared two or three weeks before planting.
- In the process of deep digging, it is necessary to fertilize it immediately. This is done by adding six kilograms of manure or compost for each meter (square) (fertilizers must be rotted), double superphosphate (35 grams) and 20 grams of potassium chloride or sulphate.
- As a result, the soil should be light, with the presence of perfect drainage. planting bushes is carried out with the following measurements: between rows should be at least seventy centimeters, and between bushes - at least forty.
- If the area on which it is planned to plant strawberries is waterlogged, then create ridges 80 cm wide and plant two rows of musts on them. The distance between such ridges should be from thirty to forty centimeters.
Planting
For each bush, you need to dig holes of a size so that you can completely bury the root, but leave its neck on the surface. After planting, abundant watering of each bush is necessary. Pour water directly under the bush so that the soil around it remains dry. This will help prevent the abundant growth of weeds, the roots of which in any case remained in the ground, and will certainly germinate.
After watering, it is necessary to mulch using peat or humus. Mulch should be applied in a standard amount - from three to five centimeters.
