To ensure that your raspberry bushes produce abundantly, it’s essential to provide them with the proper nutrients, especially after winter.

Here’s how you can effectively feed your raspberries with fertilizer in April:

Mineral Fertilizers:

  1. Ammonium Nitrate or Urea:
    • Sprinkle 1 spoonful per 1 square meter of soil.
    • Use a rake to level the fertilizer evenly across the soil surface.
  2. Kemira:
    • Dissolve 3 tablespoons in 10 liters of water.
    • Apply the solution to 10 raspberry bushes, ensuring thorough coverage.

Organic Fertilizers:

  1. Manure or Droppings:
    • Dilute 1 kilogram in 10 liters of water.
    • Water the raspberry bushes with the prepared solution, ensuring each bush receives adequate moisture.
  2. Humus:
    • Apply up to 5 kilograms per 1 square meter of soil.
    • Spread the humus evenly over the soil surface around the raspberry bushes.

Important Considerations:

  • Apply fertilizers only after the soil has warmed up sufficiently in April.
  • Both organic and mineral fertilizers can be used to feed raspberries, providing essential nutrients for healthy growth and abundant fruiting.
  • Ensure thorough coverage and distribution of the fertilizer around the raspberry bushes to promote optimal nutrient absorption.

By following these guidelines and providing your raspberry bushes with the appropriate fertilizers in April, you can support their growth and development, leading to a bountiful harvest of juicy and flavorful berries later in the season.
