Strawberry – Fertilizing
Q: What sort of fertilizer should I use on my strawberry bed?
A: If your bed is more than a year old, you can get by with a single fertilization each spring. You should have done it in mid-March, but go ahead now and feed your plants of you haven’t already. Use two pounds of 10-10-10 per 100 square feet. If you just planted your strawberries, use one pound of 10-10-10 now, one pound again in June and two pounds in mid-September.
