Planting Strawberries
Dig a wide shallow hole for each plant and make a mound in the middle over which you drape the roots, taking care not to bend them. Cover the roots with soil making sure that the crown of the plant remains at ground level and firm it down before giving a good soaking watering. When you have finished planting mulch the area with straw or wood chip to help conserve moisture. N.B. crowns set too low will result in root rot, set too high the roots may dry out.
