Tips for Successful Strawberry Production

Introduction     Varieties

  • Buy only high quality, disease-free plants from a reliable nursery.
  • Plants should be set at the same depth at which they were grown in the nursery, about mid-point in the crown.
  • Strawberry plants prefer very well drained soils and are adaptable to raised beds, whisky barrels and hanging baskets.
  • When preparing raised beds, the ideal soil mix is comprised of a one half builders sand, one quarter peat or sphagnum moss and one quarter top soil.
  • Design beds to allow for at least one square foot per plant.
