Useful gardening infomation

Select an area of your garden that receives full sunshine as this is one of the main ingredients for a sweet crop. They will grow in areas that are sunny most of the day, but really need full sun to develop to their fullest and sweetest potential. Once planted, strawberries will produce well for three to four years. So, select a location that will not be disturbed. While strawberries like lots of water, they need well drained soil. This is accomplished by creating raised rows. Add fertilizer and compost into the soil and elevate the rows a few inches above the garden soil level. This will allow those heavy spring rains to quench your plants' thirst, but drain away any excess water. Space rows three to four feet apart to allow room to walk and harvest between the rows.
