Top dressing is carried out only with the use of minerals.It is best to use phosphorus or nitrogen compounds. They help the plant to develop better and reveal all the taste of the fruit.
Top dressing should be carried out regularly at intervals of 10-12 days. Pinching is also important: large stepchildren should be left in place, otherwise the bush will be damaged. It is important to tie the branches: large fruits will break them.
Standard maintenance procedures include loosening the soil, removing weeds, and weeding the beds.
