Here is my goal- I would like to sell strawberries this summer at local
farmers markets. I enjoy gardening and being outdoors, but I do have a few
questions.

(1) If I try to get a crop of strawberries the first year I have my plants,
will that harm future strawberry plant production?
(2) What can I do to boost my first year strawberry crop? Would potting
soil and liberal fertilizer use help?
(3) Space is not an issue, I have several acres I can utilize. What would
be the best way to plant about 400 strawberry plants?

I live in Louisville Kentucky.

Thanks
David B
