Climbing strawberries and their cultivation

climbing strawberry appeared relatively recently, and many people bought these seeds, dreaming of achieving the same result as shown in the picture. But, unfortunately, the reality is that strawberries do not grow so beautiful.

What's the problem? The point is that in order for strawberries to become “curly”, it is necessary to constantly tie their tendrils to the installed support.

If climbing strawberries are not suitable for you, then you can simply plant a remontant variety of this plant in an ordinary hanging pot. As a result, you will grow an unusual “ampel” strawberry.

Strawberries and their cultivation

At all, growing strawberries is not particularly difficult, especially if you know all the subtle nuances.

First of all, start by choosing the location of this plant. Good fruits grow on sandy loam and sandy soils. However, in this case, you will have to take care of good watering, since the water consumption will be much greater than on heavier mechanical soil.

Ideally, groundwater should lie at a depth of at least 55 cm. By the way, the advantages of sandy soil include the fact that it is much easier to process and cut ridges.

Before, how to plant strawberries, pay attention to what crops were previously grown on the site. The best predecessors are corn, beets, carrots, cucumbers, cabbage, rapeseed and grains.

Choosing strawberry varieties, try to give preference to those that have different ripening periods.Thanks to this, the plant will bear fruit all season long.
