Planting and growing strawberries
- Soil : If the soil is very chalky or very wet, prefer growing in pots or containers. Strawberries like rich soil . Prepare the soil by adding manure or compost a month beforehand, as well as an organic fertilizer .
- Planting : Plant strawberry plants in sunny locations in rows, on 80 cm wide and 20 cm high mounds . It is possible to plant two rows of strawberry plants 40 cm apart and 30 cm apart in the row . Allow 70 cm wide paths between the mounds.
- Mulching : This will prevent the development of weeds, maintain moisture in the soil and the fruits will be insulated from the ground.
- Watering : Water regularly, especially during hot weather.
Strawberry Plant Maintenance
To encourage rooting and vegetative development, it is essential to cut the flower stems within a month of planting.
During cultivation, cut the stolons (or threads).
In the fall, clean the plants (remove dry leaves and suckers) and apply a copper -based speciality if the leaves have many purple spots .
Strawberry harvest
Pick strawberries in the morning so they are more fragrant.
