Scatter these wastes under the raspberry bushes, and the branches will break from the berries

In order for raspberries to produce a good, abundant yield of large and sweet berries, they need proper fertilization. In spring, it's best to nourish the bushes with organic matter to ensure a bountiful harvest. We'll explain how to fertilize raspberries effectively so they grow vigorously and yield plenty of berries. This was reported by SSPDaily.

How to fertilize raspberries in spring

• Weed infusion: Collect weed waste, use only the juicy parts without roots, chop them, place in a bucket, and cover with water. Store the mixture in a dark place for seven days, stirring occasionally. After a week, dilute the mixture with water in a 1:5 ratio and generously water the raspberry bushes.
• Yeast: Dissolve a packet of dry yeast in a bucket of water, add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, and let it ferment for several hours. Dilute the concentrated mixture with water in a ratio of 1:5 and pour it over the raspberries.

• Manure: Make an infusion by mixing manure with water at a ratio of 1:10, then water the raspberry bushes at a rate of 1 liter per bush.
• Bird droppings: Be cautious with this fertilizer to avoid burning the bushes. Dilute chicken manure with water in a ratio of 1:20, and apply it to the raspberries at a rate of 1 liter per bush.
• Wood ash: Rich in minerals beneficial for raspberry fruiting, wood ash can be used as a pure fertilizer or as an infusion. To prepare the fertilizer, mix 600 grams of ash with 10 liters of water and let it brew for 24 hours. Then water the bushes with the fertilizer at a rate of 2 liters per bush.
