Organic Strawberries

Strawberries organic growth for your home and family

If you choose to grow strawberries, you make the right decision to add to your home garden. Around of 30 strawberry plants is sufficient to support a family of four. You can grow strawberries in a landscape ornamental cover, soil or even in a traditional bed.

Selection variants of strawberry

You can select your plants from a nursery established while ensuring a healthy choice. Getting from a local nursery also helps to choose a plant that grows well in your garden. If you do not like the variety they offer, then you can go for mail order plants from other nurseries. There are three types you may choose to grow strawberries:

  • First is that the June-bearing strawberries produce a large crop that spring. In a season, strawberries June will support the highest number of harvest and it takes three weeks for the body to mature.
  • Another plan is the support of strawberry Whenever there is one crop during the spring and autumn.
  • Finally is the day-neutral strawberry. They are able to do along the fruit most of which is growing season.

Selection and preparation

To be able to produce the sweetest strawberries you will have access to a large sunlight. A minimum of 6 hours of sun a day, but if you can fit more in, then your strawberries will become better and more abundant.

Plant growth

When growing strawberries, remember you can not live in a drought or standing water. The place you planted should be well drained. Organic fertilizer should be added to help retain moisture in the soil. Avoid placing it near other plants or trees. Not to mention it should be easy for you for watering place in the event of a drought occurs.

Soil pH should be between 5.5 to 6.5 for optimal growth, but they can live between a pH of 5.0 to 7.0. Simple pH test kits can be purchased at the garden center, but if you want to continue your garden into a long term, then I suggest getting a soil test kit suitable.

The place we decided to grow strawberries should be clear from larvae, soil-borne diseases and weeds. If the place you want is full of them, then you must cultivate and let the place to grow for a year to remove weeds that may compete with its strawberries. Keep weeds around the berries production would stop. Also, Verticillium wilt is a murderer to plant strawberries. So if you planted any peppers, potatoes, eggplant or tomatoes, you must clear the ground of at least 3 years to clear the ground of any disease.
