Strawberry questions
We bought some killer one gallon strawberry plants the other day. They all
have strawberries on them, some ripe. I want to grow a bunch of them. I have four 8' railroad ties. OLD railroad ties that are bleached white, so most of the chemicals should be gone. Would an 8' bed raised that high (about 8") be a good bed? We got 10 yards of good compost from a nursery, and it is very high quality. Should I mix anything else with the compost? The local dirt is sand dune blowsand. Should I mix any gravel in for drainage? I want to put the black half inch pipe in there for irrigation. A friend who has a lot of strawberries says that they like a lot of water here. It gets blazing hot in the summer, and pretty cold in the winter. How wet should I keep them? I like using different meals, blood, bone, etc, instead of chemical fertilizers. What would be a good amendment? Lastly, propagation. Do you just plant them and let them grow? How far would I separate the plants? Thanks in advance. Hope this year's garden is better than last year's. Steve XXtreme SW Utah 3700' elev zone 7-8 Visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com |
