Pour this dressing under the root (1 liter per bush).

When the buds appear, repeat the feeding. You can replace this dressing by adding 1 tbsp. spoon nitrophoska into a ten-liter bucket of water and pouring 1 liter of the mixture under each seedling.

So that the bushes do not have apical rot, make a solution of 1 tbsp. tablespoons of calcium nitrate and a ten-liter bucket of clean water. Spray the crop with this solution when it blooms. Pour 1 liter of solution on each bush.

When the first ovaries begin to appear, make a solution with wood ash. Pour 2 liters of ash, 10 g of boric acid into a ten-liter bucket of clean water. Leave it on for a day to dissolve the elements. Water at the root, pouring 1 liter per bush.

Do the fourth feeding when the fruits are poured, Pour in 2 tbsp. tablespoons of superphosphate, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of potassium humate in a ten-liter bucket of water. Pour 1 liter under the bush. Form a bush, leaving 2 - 3 stems, cut off the rest.
