Black Strawberry Seeds
step 1:choose a growing location
that receives at least six hours of derect sun every day.Prepare the area in
early spring when the soil is warm.yet is not overly wet.add compost to the
soil and work it well with the garden spade to incorprate the compost completely
into the soil.
step 2:Sprinkle 1 pound of
fertilizer for every 100 square feet of growing area onto the soil.work the
fertilizer in to the soil about 8 inches deep with the spade.
step 3:Select the kind of
strawberries you want to grow. Spring-bearing strawberry plants produce berries
for several weeks in June. Everbearing strawberry plants produce berries three
times a year--in spring, summer and autumn. Day neutral strawberry plants
produce berries throughout the entire growing season. Everbearing strawberries
and day neutral strawberries are best suited for gardens where space is
limited.
step 4:Prepare planting rows. Space
spring-bearing strawberries 18 to 30 inches apart in rows that are between 3
and 4 feet apart. Space everbearing and day neutral strawberries 12 inches
apart in rows that are 2 feet apart.
step 5:Dig holes for the strawberry
plants so that the roots have adequate room on all sides and the soil will be
just above the root tops. Place the plants in the holes and pat the soil around
them so that the crowns are slightly above the soil level.
step 6:Water the strawberry plants
generously after planting. Mulch around the plants with straw to help prevent
weeds and keep the soil moist.
