Strawberries are a delicious, summer fruit that are not as difficult to grow as they seem. In the article, you will learn about the main nuances in caring for a berry, namely, the choice of soil and planting site.
What soil to choose
Strawberries will delight you for more than one year, as it is a perennial plant.
The average life expectancy of strawberries in one place can reach 10 years. However, the yield will gradually become smaller without replanting the plant.
The most important point in growing strawberries is the right choice of soil. Therefore, strawberries will develop a healthy root system and give a rich harvest.
If your soil is close to groundwater and too wet, make tall beds for your strawberries.
Sandy soil is not suitable for growing, as it will not be able to nourish the plant with useful substances, and strawberries will grow poorly, bloom and produce berries.
If the soil is dry, low ridges will do.
In loamy soil, you should add compost, peat and sawdust.
