Belarusian Farmer's Simple Trick for Growing Perfect Strawberries

Belarusian Greenhouse Grower Shares Strawberry Cultivation Tip: Higher Mounds Prevent Rot A Belarusian greenhouse farmer has shared a valuable tip for growing strawberries, particularly the 'Lyuchii' variety. In a recent video, the grower, who prefers to remain anonymous, demonstrated that the height of the mounds used for planting significantly impacts the health and yield of the crop. "In the process of growing strawberries of the Lyuchii variety, I realized that the mounds we made were too low," the farmer stated in the video. "The strawberries were touching the ground, which is not ideal." The video shows the difference between low and high mounds. Low mounds resulted in strawberries resting directly on the ground, increasing the risk of rot and disease. Higher mounds, on the other hand, allow for better air circulation and keep the fruit clean. The farmer's use of agro-fabric further aids in preventing ground contact. This simple yet effective technique offers a valuable lesson for strawberry growers, highlighting the importance of proper mound height for optimal fruit production and quality.
