Need help from Strawberry Gardeners!  |
|
 Friends of ours are moving interstate. They have given me numerous plants. Amongst these plants, are at least ten containers of strawberries, so I guess that would be at least 20 strawberry plants.
I am keen to be successful with growing these, but I have no experience with strawberries.
I can't keep them out the back, as both dogs would soon learn that strawberries are there for the taking.
I will keep all ten pots out the front, as I have a large front yard.
Now, strawberry gardeners, please tell me, what is the best position for strawberries? Full sun? (Australian heat).
Or, morning sun & afternoon shade?
Do they require watering every day, bearing in mind that we have no rain.
Are they susceptible to any bugs in particular?
Any advice will be appreciated.

| jennybianca (6394) | 2 years ago | To be honest, I dont know? I will have to ask the people who have given them to me. Thanks for pointing that out. | |

| suzanne1970 (72) | 2 years ago | if they are seasonal plants basically you need alot of sunshine and water them everyday put if they are not then it depends what your winters are like,here in italy i cover them in the winter with what they call here material not material,its white stuff that looks like material but it saves plants in the winter | |

| jennybianca (6394) | 2 years ago | I have moved them all to a position with full day sun. I will be seeing the people who gave them to me soon & I will ask if they are seasonal or not. Thanks for this info. | |

| jennybianca (6394) | 2 years ago | I think they are already in the appropiate pits. Not sure about the soil. I will check this. What can I do about slugs? Is there a bait? | |
