December raspberry trick: A handful of fertilizer guarantees a bumper harvest
Fertilizing Raspberries in December: 1 Handful Under the Roots Even in the Snow - You'll Have an Abundance of Berries

A simple fertilising trick in December could boost next year’s raspberry harvest. Gardeners sharing tips on the Dacha Routine channel recommend using monopotassium phosphate for stronger plants. The method works even in mild winter conditions, where snow cover is light or patchy.
The technique involves sprinkling a small handful of monopotassium phosphate under each raspberry bush. If snow is present, the granules dissolve naturally with meltwater, carrying nutrients straight to the roots. In snow-free areas, lightly loosening damp soil helps the fertiliser absorb faster.
This low-effort method could lead to a bigger yield of juicy berries next season. The fertiliser’s benefits are clear: stronger roots and better fruit development. No details about the gardeners behind the tip have been shared on the channel.
