Plant strawberry plants in autumn or late spring in a sheltered sunny position in well manured free draining soil. Plant strawberry runners every 45cm in rows spaced at 75cm apart. Spread out their roots & place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Avoid planting them too deeply as this may cause them to rot. Alternatively try growing strawberry plants in hanging baskets or in specially designed strawberry planters for the patio.
Water strawberries frequently throughout the growing season & weed regularly between rows. When growing strawberry plants in baskets & containers they will also need feeding every two weeks. From early summer remove any runners that are produced as these will weaken the plants vigour. Protect the developing fruit from slugs & snails by spreading straw around each plant. Positioning a net over the plants will also prevent crop damage by birds. The netting & straw can be removed after cropping to allow better air flow around the crown of the plant. Mulch strawberry plants with well rotted manure in spring.
Please note: Although strawberry plants will continue to fruit in successive years the crop will become considerably reduced & it is advisable to completely replace strawberry plants every 3 years.
