Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries in early spring or fall when the soil is workable. Soak the roots for 30–60 minutes before planting. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots, and set the plant so the crown (where roots meet stems) is at or slightly above soil level. Firm soil around the roots and water thoroughly. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows or beds.

Keep the soil consistently moist during establishment. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. In the first season, remove blossoms to encourage strong root and plant development; allow fruiting in subsequent years. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Renovate beds after harvest by removing old foliage and thinning runners to maintain productivity.
