Can anyone help on what I do next with strawberries

[tweacle]

Hi this is the first time ive grown strawberies and the seeds are coming through now. Do I pot them up until there bigger and then plant out or something else.

Thanks

You should go ahead and put them outside. You can either put then staight into the ground, Put them in a raised bed or put them into a deep planter box. WHich ever method you choose make sure to keep them free of competition from weeds and other plants. When your strawberries get bigger they will put off runners which will grow out a little ways and then put down roots to form a new plant. You can move the angle of the runners to influence where they put in roots to give better spacing to your plants. Before transplanting remember to add organic fertilzers to the soil. and then small amounts to the water for the plants. There are many great organic addotives for soil and water that you can use....

I think I read somewhere that you shouldnt let more than 3 runners per plant per season get established.

Do strawberries like manured soil or not? I know potash is good for fruit trees, good for strawbs as well maybe? Would appeciate some advice on how to increase produce, thank you.
