The cultivation of everbearing strawberry varieties differs quite significantly from traditional varieties in some respects. First and foremost, thanks to their unique vegetation cycle, the fruit harvesting period is extended not by weeks, but by several months!
Soil requirements for everbearing varieties are similar to those for traditional varieties:

Everbearing varieties require more frequent feeding throughout the fruiting period with:
In commercial plantations, chemical protection is often used, but I recommend avoiding these products in amateur cultivation. Instead, opt for biopreparations, which are equally effective and safe for health.
As mentioned, everbearing strawberries, bred in warmer climates like California, Italy, and Spain, need winter covering with white agrotextile. However, do not rush to cover them—wait until the soil freezes and the plants enter their dormancy period.
