Growing Strawberries
Step 1:
Fill a pot or hanging basket with a good quality Yates potting mix.
Step 2:
Plant the strawberries in the mix and water well. If the pot’s small, put in one strawberry plant. 3, 4 or 5 plants can go into bigger pots.
Step 3:
Put a layer of mulch on top of the potting mix. This helps stop the mix from drying out and keeps the berries clean (‘cause they’re not lying on the dirt!).
Feed the plants every two weeks with Thrive Flower & Fruit.
Step 4:
Pick the strawberries when they’re a rich, ripe red. If strawberries are picked too early, they’ll never taste as sweet.
After about 16 weeks the strawberries will be ready to harvest.
