Planting and Caring for Strawberry Plants in Raised Beds

Content: Rooting of such plants is very easy - bend a nail in the form of letter 'U' and using it, fix the daughter plant on permanent position. After few weeks, it will grow enough roots to continue to grow as individual plant and to bear fruits rather quickly. Photo: runners and daughter plants, fixed using ordinary bent nails
Strawberry varieties that don't produce runners (in larger numbers), often propagate by dividing small strawberry plants from the crown - be very gentle with plants when doing this, since any sudden movement can break roots, crowns and leaves, in essence, killing the plants.

When planting is done, add a layer of mulch to the raised garden bed. This mulch will prevent strawberries from touching the soil and will decrease the evaporation. Most common mulch is a straw (hence the name 'strawberries'), but other similar materials can be used. One of the benefits of raised beds, especially multi-tier raised beds is the long edge when compared with the growing area, enabling the gardener to 'force' strawberry fruit to grow hanging in the air, without touching the soil. Regular pruning should help reduce thickness of strawberry plants and keep the strawberries away from the rest of the garden.
