I want to share with you a time-tested strawberry fertilizer recipe. This fertilizer is best used at the turn of April and May.
Each strawberry bush should be watered with half a liter of this fertilizer, and this will guarantee a much more impressive harvest.
In addition, this fertilizer is organic and completely inexpensive.
You will need:
- 50 g of fresh yeast
- 1 l of warm water
- 1 tbsp. sh. sugar
Preparation and use:
Mix these products and let it stand for 1 day.
Dilute in a ratio of 1:5 (1 part fertilizer, 5 parts water) and water each strawberry bush with half a liter of this fertilizer.
If you do not have fresh yeast, the mixture can be prepared with 1 teaspoon of dry yeast.
This amount of fertilizer is enough for 10 plants.
This fertilizer will provide the strawberry roots with the necessary substances throughout the season.

Old bread fertilizer
This fertilizer will ensure better strawberry growth.
This will create ideal conditions for fruit development.
The yeast will acidify the soil, attract beneficial animals and ensure an even higher yield.
Preparation of this fertilizer is very simple.
Pour water over old, dry bread and press down to submerge it.
Leave to ferment for about 6-10 days.
Dilute the resulting solution with water in a ratio of 1:10.
Nettle fertilizer
This is a true elixir of life and a great way to protect strawberries from pests.
In addition, everything you need to prepare this fertilizer can be found in your garden.
Fertilizers contain easily absorbed nitrogen and potassium. All this is necessary for plant growth.
It is enough to pour 1 bucket of nettles with water.
Mix twice a day and use diluted with water in a ratio of 1:20.
Sour milk
Acidic dairy products (such as buttermilk) are beneficial for fruit development.
Fermented milk products are recommended to be mixed with humus, manure and wood ash – this mixture helps to create a slightly acidic environment, ideal for fruit growth and development.
If you add a solution of milk and water to a bottle and spray it on strawberries, you can forget about aphids and ticks.
Chicken manure
Chicken manure contains a lot of nitrogen, without which strawberries cannot form large and juicy fruits.
It is ideal to use liquid chicken manure and dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:10 so that it does not burn the strawberry roots.
The solution must stand for at least three days and is used only until the strawberries begin to bloom.
