Plant a Strawberry Pot and pick delicious home-grown fruit even if you don’t have much garden space – or if you’ve filled up your garden and still want to grow more!
Use the biggest container you can find, as it makes watering and feeding the plants much easier, and place it where it will get lots of sunshine. Mix together equal quantities of multipurpose compost and soil-based compost and add some slow-release fertiliser – you’ll find granular or pelleted fertilisers (as well as everything else you’ll need!) here at the garden centre in Co. Limerick.
Fill your container, leaving a gap at the top for watering, Water the pot thoroughly straight after sowing or planting, then keep the compost just damp. As your strawberries grow, feed with liquid fertiliser every fortnight and you can look forward to a bumper harvest later this summer!
