Growing Strawberries in Containers?
Answer
Grow in a sunny, warm site. Make sure you soil is well-drained, and if planting in the ground, do not grow in the same site as potatoes were grown previously, as they may pick up a virus from the spuds. With growing strawberries, you need to keep the fruits off the soil, so planting in pots is a good idea. Use a good multi-purpose compost, and put a layer of stones on the top of the soil, so when watering the soil is not splashed onto the fruits. If you plant your strawberries in the ground, use straw, or strawberry mats to protect the fruits.
