Not everyone has the opportunity to grow strawberries in a garden or allotment.
Some are “condemned” to grow them on a balcony or possibly on a terrace.
Is it difficult? Definitely not. You just need to follow a few of the rules below:

• Prepare healthy and strongly rooted seedlings.
  This is the starting point, without which further activities will make little sense.
• Varieties:
  We especially recommend those from the group of repeat-fruiting, which will bear fruit throughout the season until late autumn.
• Location:
  Choose a sunny spot and an appropriate box or pot with a depth of at least 20 cm, with plenty of holes in the bottom for draining excess water (so-called drainage).
• Soil:
  Fill the box (or pot) with fertile, yet permeable soil, preferably with a slightly acidic pH.
• Planting:
  Plant young plants at the same depth as they grew in the nursery, maintaining proper spacing, i.e., no less than 25 to 30 cm from seedling to seedling.
• Watering:
  After planting, water the strawberries generously.
• Fertilizing:
  Every 2 weeks, feed the plants using a special strawberry fertilizer (instructions for use are always found on the package).
• Maintenance:
  Water the strawberries regularly, not allowing the plants to dry out; the soil in pots should be moist, not wet.
