How do I plant strawberries at home?
Strawberries can be grown in a variety of climates, but they prefer well-drained soil that receives full sun. To plant strawberries at home, follow these steps:
- Choose a sunny spot in your garden.
- Prepare the soil by tilling it and adding compost or manure.
- Dig a hole that is 6-8 inches deep and 12 inches wide.
- Place the strawberry plant in the hole and fill the hole with soil.
- Water the plant deeply.
- Mulch around the plant with straw or wood chips to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Strawberries will typically start to produce fruit in the second year after planting. To care for your strawberry plants, water them regularly, fertilize them monthly, and remove any runners that develop.
