Let's start with an important fact: after receiving the first harvest, you will need to work hard on the berry bushes.

The first step you need to take is to remove all new tendrils, as the plants will waste resources growing them.

The second step is to remove the flower stalks. The best fruiting is that of remontant strawberries, which bear fruit twice a season, and they begin to actively produce them after the first harvest.

By removing the first flower stalks that appear, you will allow others to develop and in 3-4 weeks you will already see a second harvest.

The third step is feeding for active growth. Strawberries need nutrients to produce new berries, and herbal infusion or infusion based on chicken manure will help with this.
