The process of planting strawberries in the ground
In order to plant strawberries, you must first dig up the garden bed with humus to the depth of the shovel bayonet. The soil should be soft and fluffy without unnecessary lumps and stones.
Strawberries are planted mainly in beds. In this case, the distance between each bush should be at least 30 centimeters, and the rows should be located at a distance of 0.7 meters.
If it was not possible to dig up the soil with humus, it is worth adding fertilizers with microelements when planting in the hole and mixing the soil in order to minimize the harmful effect on the roots. If the fertilizer is not mixed with soil, the roots can burn.
When you put strawberry sprouts in a hole, you should make sure that they do not curl up, otherwise there will be no harvest of berries, if necessary, the root can be carefully trimmed with pruning shears.
A sufficient amount of water is poured into the hole so that the roots are in the water. Approximately, you will need about one liter of water for each hole.
When the water in the hole has been absorbed, you can fill the roots with soil, but so that the socket remains in the air.
Not only the quality of the crop depends on the correct planting of strawberries, but also how well it will survive the winter months.
