If you stay in a house where you do not have access to a big garden but still would like to plant some things, then going for organic strawberry in a pot is your best choice.
Those pots are usually made out of clay, and you can find them in a lot of size and shapes.
Starters I leave the place to purchase the pots to you.
Generally they are sold in garden centers so you would want to head there first.
The size of pot that you pick must be in line with the amount of organic strawberry plants that you want to have.
The smaller the pot, the more often you would need to water.
Special strawberry pots have pockets all around so look out for that.
For strawberries, there are three types of them; June-bearing, ever-bearing, and day-neutral.
Now for your choice of organic strawberry to be planted in a pot, I would pick the ever-bearing and day-neutral kind.
Both will provide you with berries from late spring until early fall while the day-neutral kind will yield more than ever-bearing types.
To start off your organic strawberry planting, you would first need to soak your clay pots.
Pots that are not soak will absorb the water out of the soil when you first prepare your soils inside.
So just soak the pots in a tub for an hour.
This will make sure the pots are properly moisten.
Preparation Next cover the drainage hole with a piece of broken pot or window screening.
It is to make sure the soil does not leak out.
If the pot comes with a saucer then use that instead.
Then fill your soil until you reach the lowest pocket of the pot.
Plant your organic strawberry crown at these pockets and cover the rest of them with soil.
After that, you need to find a small PVC pipe around 1 inch of size or a cardboard tube.
Drill them with holes along the length.
Then insert the drilled side at the center of the pot but not near the drainage hole.
This will make sure the water is properly distributed to all the pockets.
Then you can continue filling up the soil to each pockets and planting your organic strawberry crown at each pockets.
Stop putting more soil when you reach near the rim of the pot.
There you can add a few more organic strawberry crown and cover them with soil.
When you done so, pour water down the water tube, on top of the soil and into each pocket.
Your pot should get a lot of sunlight, at least six hours a day.
The soil if your choosing should be high with organic things.
Adding things like peat, compost or leaf mold will further enhance organic strawberry plant.
The care Keep watering your organic strawberry.
You need to keep the soul moist throughout the growth.
You can test the soil by putting your finger inside fully into the soul.
If it feels dry then you would need to water.
Strawberry growth would slow down if you do not give it enough moisture.
Fertilize your organic strawberry with any organic fertilizer.
