It has long been known that humus plays a key role in the soil and in the numerous beneficial processes that occur within it. It is humus that gives the soil a granular structure, promotes moisture retention in the soil, is a source of nutrients for plants, and provides invaluable support for beneficial soil microorganisms.
What can be done to increase the humus content in the soil? It is worth using homemade compost both before planting strawberries and during the vegetation period. Every few years, it is beneficial to spread and dig in old, well-rotted manure in the garden. Mulching strawberries with straw or another organic mass, such as ground branches, also promotes the accumulation of humus in the soil.
Introducing and maintaining the right amount of humus in the soil will allow strawberries to grow healthily and bear fruit abundantly.
Administering medication to children using strawberries can be an effective way to encourage them to take their medicine, especially if they are picky or have reservations about taking medications. Here are a few ways to do this:
Mixing with Strawberry Puree:
If the medication is in liquid or powder form, it can be mixed with strawberry puree. Make sure the child eats the entire portion to receive the correct dose of medication.
Inserting a Pill into a Strawberry:
If the pill can be swallowed whole, you might try inserting it into the center of a strawberry. Make a small indentation in the strawberry, place the pill in it, and give it to the child. Ensure the strawberry is not too large, so the child can eat it whole.
Making Strawberry Smoothies:
If the medication is in liquid form, you can add it to a strawberry smoothie. This is a good way to disguise the taste of the medication.
Using Strawberry Syrup:
If the medication has an unpleasant taste, you can try to mask it with strawberry syrup. However, this method may not be suitable for all medications, so it is advisable to consult with a doctor.
Remember to always consult with a doctor about the possibility of mixing medication with food, as some medications may interact with certain foods or their ingredients, which could affect their effectiveness. Additionally, always ensure that the child receives the correct dose of medication.
In gardening practice, we distinguish three planting terms for strawberries: spring, summer, and autumn. It’s hard to say which one is the best, as each has its advantages and disadvantages.
The most popular is spring planting after the frosts have ceased, usually from mid-March to the end of May. Plants planted at this time benefit from:
While the first crop from spring-planted strawberries may not be abundant, the plants have plenty of time until autumn to:
Summer planting (July or August) is also highly recommended. Key benefits include:
Additionally, the period requiring maintenance treatments is shorter compared to spring planting. However, summer planting has its drawbacks:
To solve this, we recommend purchasing potted seedlings, which are available at our farm.
In July, we usually offer large quantities of well-rooted seedlings in a full range of varieties.
Autumn planting (September, October) is also common. The main advantage of this period is the availability of strongly rooted seedlings in large quantities. However, late autumn planting comes with a higher risk of the plants freezing during winter, especially for strawberry varieties from warmer regions than Central Europe.
To protect the plants, we recommend using white agrotextile, which will help them survive the winter months.
Protecting young strawberry plants 🍓🌱 from freezing during the winter months requires special attention, especially in regions with harsh winters.
