One of the most effective options is natural organic fertilizers. Mullein is especially popular among them.
How to cook and how to make mullein-based fertilizer
Take a bucket, then pour water into it and add fertilizer. The proportions should be as follows – 1:10.
Allow the solution to infuse for two days. At the end of the required time, dilute it again with water in a ratio of 1: 1.
Before fertilizing, make sure that the soil near the bushes is moist, otherwise, the root system may get burnt. Only then should start watering.
One raspberry bush will take about one liter of the resulting solution.
One week after fertilization it is necessary to loosen the soil.
Feeding with wood ash
You will need wood ash at the rate of one liter per square meter. Pour the fertilizer under the bushes, then start mulching with hummus. This is necessary in order to retain moisture in the ground and rid yourself of the problem in the form of weeds.
What else can you feed raspberries?
If you do not have natural organic fertilizers – do not worry. They can be replaced with nitrogen fertilizer – for example, ammonium nitrate. Proportions: 40 grams of substance per square meter of soil.
