Growing Strawberries Protitably 
Setting Plants 
Clip the roots if they can’t be planted without doubling. The plant should 
be set with the crown about even with the soil after it has been thoroughly 
firmed around the plant. 
Type of Soil 
Select a plot springy in nature but well drained and free of vegetation. 
Moisture is essential. The land which you contemplate setting to Straw- 
berries should be kept as free from vegetation as possible during the pre- 
vious year. If the land has been lying idle, plow late in the summer before 
the weeds and grass develop seed to maturity. Heavy crops of Cow Peas, 
Soy Beans, etc., if plowed under in late summer while green increase the 
humus and fertility of the soil, making it loose and porous; therefore, more 
retentive of moisture. 
Soil Preparation and Fertilization 
Prepare soil same as for truck or garden crops. Lay out rows, usually 342 
to 4 feet apart; set plants about 15 to 18 inches apart in the rows. Do not use

EARLY VARIETIES: 
commercial fertilizer at the roots. If soil is fertile we do not recommend using 
any type of fertilizer when planting. After the plants have been set in the 
row, a light application of fertilizer may be applied around the plant and 
worked into the soil with a hoe. Do not allow the fertilizer to fall on the 
leaves of the plant. During the growing season additional applications of 
fertilizer may be applied if the soil is not reasonably fertile. 
The following spring after plants have been set, during the months of 
February or March, apply a good grade of commercial fertilizer carrying an 
analysis of 5 per cent ammonia, 6 to 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 10 per 
cent potash, broadcast on the row of the plants, at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds 
per hundred yards of row space. 
Cultivation 
Keep Rows Free of Vegetation. 
As soon as the plants are set in the spring, cultivation should begin, and 
should be continued whenever weeds start or a crust forms. Frequent shal- 
low cultivation will make it unnecessary to do much hand hoeing or hand 
weeding.

Mulching 
After the first freeze during fall months, wheat or rye 
straw may be applied over the rows of plants for winter 
protection. Early in the spring, before growth starts, it 
should be removed from the bed of plants and placed 
between the rows to retain moisture and keep berries 
clean.
