How to Grow Strawberries in 6 Simple Steps

Strawberries are one of the most underrated "superfoods." They have many health benefits and we talked about some of the most common ones here.

Strawberries are very tasty especially when they're freshly picked!

Luckily, strawberries are relatively easy to grow and don't require too much care.

Follow the 6 simple steps below to have your own homegrown strawberries in no time:

1. Buy organic and non-GMO seeds/plants from your local nursery or online.

2. Set out strawberry seeds/plants as soon as the ground can be worked in the Spring.

3. Amend your soil if necessary.

The desirable pH level for strawberries is between 5.5 and 7.

Note: You could adjust your soil pH using Greenway Biotech, Inc. Sulfur Powder to lower the pH level or Greenway Biotech, Inc. Dolomite Lime to raise the pH level.

4. Plant the seed/plant in deep and far apart.

Leave enough room between each seed/plant for the entire roots system. (At least 20 inches apart and 40 inches between rows).

Note: If you are planting strawberry starters, make sure the roots are covered but the crown is at the soil's surface.

5. Water in plants thoroughly.

If planting seeds, provide enough water without uncovering the seeds beneath the soil.

6. For the best results make sure to use our specially formulated Greenway Biotech, Inc. Strawberry Fertilizer.

Planting site must be well-drained. Raised beds are a particularly good option for strawberries.
