Planting & Care
Plant bare root strawberries in early spring or fall when the soil is workable. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, and set the plant so the crown (where roots meet stems) is at soil level. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove runners to encourage fruit production, or allow them to root for new plants. Fertilize in early spring and after harvest. Renovate beds after harvest by mowing leaves and thinning plants.
