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.
