How to make strawberry Queen Elizabeth the first and the second to give great harvests?

It is obligatory to introduce phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Do not forget that the brand is repair, and therefore quickly depleted. One bush can bear fruit for a year or two, then it gives less and less berries. Therefore, you need to keep an eye on The update was permanent. But at the first planting the mustache is better to be cut off, as this can prevent the plant from getting well and starting to bear fruit.
