Planting & Care
Plant bare root strawberries in early spring or fall when soil is workable. Soak roots for 30-60 minutes before planting. Dig a hole large enough to spread roots, set the crown at soil level, and firm soil around roots. Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil consistently moist until established. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly in early spring. Remove runners to encourage fruit production, and renovate beds after harvest.
For best results, plant in full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid planting in areas where strawberries, tomatoes, or potatoes have grown recently to reduce disease risk.
