Some tips on the planting and care of bare root strawberries:
*Soak the roots overnight prior to planting
*Strawberries prefer soil with excellent drainage, plenty of organic matter and a slightly acidic pH ( (5.5-6.5)
*Plant in full sun for best fruiting
*Fertilize at the proper time, and do not over-fertilize
*Pinch off blooms that occur during the season of planting; for everbearing varieties continue to pinch off blooms till approx. August
*Use mulch to keep beds weed-free
