How and when to plant strawberries

Strawberries are bright red in color, sweet in taste, and rich in nutrients. They are one of people’s favorite fruits in life. Some people also want to grow some strawberries themselves, but they don’t know how to grow strawberries, nor do they know when is the right time to plant them. Today, the editor will introduce this knowledge to you.

Planting time

Strawberry is a perennial herb that can be grown all year round as long as the climate is suitable. However, most parts of the country have a temperate climate, and it is best to plant strawberries in spring every year so that they can mature in large quantities in the warm weather in summer, allowing people to eat sweet fresh strawberries.

Planting method

1. Soil

When planting strawberries, you should choose suitable soil. It is best to choose a plot with sufficient sunlight. The soil should be fertile, loose and breathable. Before planting, the soil should be deeply plowed once, and the depth should be between fifteen and twenty centimeters. After deep plowing, apply enough base fertilizer.

2. Planting and management

When planting strawberries, the row spacing should be about 30 cm, and the plant spacing should not be less than 40 cm. During the growth period, the new vines should be removed in time to facilitate the fruiting of strawberries. In addition, when planting strawberries, it is also necessary to pay attention to its periodicity. Some new strawberry plants should be cultivated every year to ensure the yield of strawberries.

3. Winter management

Although strawberries are perennial herbs, they still need to be managed carefully in winter. A layer of soil should be spread on the plants to prevent frost. In addition, after the soil is completely frozen, some hay can be spread on it to increase the warmth of the plants. The hay can only be removed after the strawberries grow new leaves in the spring of the following year. Wait until the weather further warms up and stabilizes before removing the soil covering them so that the strawberries can grow normally.
