Why August is the Month to Begin
We plan on 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre or 1.4 lbs./1000 sq. ft. or about 1 - 1.5 Tabls. per plant.
Spray Mychoraezzae (sp?) beneficial bacteria and Molasses.
For beds of 4' X 8' use 12 plant starts (crown buds) with a row on the left side and right side.
Then, plant lettuce, garlic or tomatoes down the middle.
We can also use Plant Perk and Molasses as well as BerryBoost for crop boosters.
For strawberries also tend towards...
- Keeping weeds at bay.
- Use Slug-Go (organic phosphate) to take care of slugs while helping the plants, too.
- Great cultivar producers for the northeast include...
1. Galietta (Earliest)
2. Chandler (old reliable)
3. Ruby June (Plant in early September if possible)
4. AC Valley (Late)
5. Malwina (Latest)
6. FlavorFest (Better for southern climates)
7. Sensation (Florida variety)
8. Brilliance (Florida)
More tips coming~!
We have some great insider tips to share with you on Strawberry Production!
First of alluse 30 weight commercial row cover such as Frost Cloth, Frost Fighter, etc.
Spray crop with a seaweed extract in the Fall. Before covering,
Do Not Use urea nitrogen.
Use a natural nitrogen source.
Consider getting started with Tissue Culture starters or plant clones.
Crop will need 2" of water a week. Consider drip irrigation or soaker hoses.
Crop will also need a source of seed-free straw such as salt marsh hay in the Northeast.
