Step 1. CHOOSE A CONTAINER FOR THEM
Be sure the container has drainage holes in the bottom.
Step 2. FILL THE CONTAINER WITH SOIL THAT MAKES STRAWBERRIES HAPPY
Strawberries like deep, loamy soil that drains well. This means that it should contain plenty of organic matter
Step 3. GET YOUR STRAWBERRY PLANTS
Your next step is to find some plants and put them in the soil.
There are two main kinds of strawberries available: “June-bearing” and “Ever-bearing” or day-neutral varieties that can bear from early summer right up until your first frost. While June-bearing varieties can take a year to establish (you normally plant them now for next year’s harvest), ever-bearing plants will give you fruit the very first year and may allow you to extend your harvest over a period of weeks or months.
Step 4. CARE FOR YOUR PLANTS AND ENJOY
Get them some sun on the balcony, rooftop, patio or doorstep.
For optimum production, keep your strawberry plants well watered throughout the growing season, and enjoy your homegrown strawberries. Plants should continue to be productive for at least 2-3 years.
