GROWING SYSTEMS

Strawberries are usually planted in early spring or late summer, depending on the climate and variety. Prior to planting, the soil should be prepared by removing weeds and incorporating organic matter to improve fertility. Strawberry plants are usually set in raised beds or mounded rows to promote drainage and prevent waterlogging. Strawberries can be grown using different systems, depending on the available space and intended purpose:

Matted Row System:
This traditional system involves planting strawberries in wide rows with multiple runners. It allows the plants to form a dense, matted bed, producing a higher number of runners and berries. This system is often preferred for home gardeners and pick-your-own farms.

Raised Bed System:
In this system, raised beds are created to provide better drainage and easier access to the plants. Strawberry plants are spaced in rows on the raised beds, allowing for efficient management and harvesting. This system is commonly used in commercial production.

Vertical Growing System:
Vertical systems, such as strawberry towers or hanging baskets, are gaining popularity for their space-saving benefits. Strawberry plants are grown in containers or bags, and the fruit is suspended or grown upwards, maximizing vertical space utilization.
