Directions for use
Directions for planting in garden beds:
- Water plants thoroughly before planting and allow to drain.
- Add a layer of mix to the area and make 10cm high mounds for the strawberries to be planted on.
- Dig a hole, approximately twice the depth and width of the root ball of your plant, on top of the mound.
- Gently loosen the root ball of your plant and position in the centre of the hole.
- Plant 15cm apart on top of the mounds.
- Press soil gently around the base of the plant.
- Water your plant well and continue to water regularly.
If you're short on garden space, strawberry plants grow well in hanging baskets. Or you can plant straight into this bag – just remember to make small drainage holes underneath. Five or six plants will fit in a bag when it is lying flat.
Directions for planting in pots and containers:
- Water plants thoroughly before potting and allow to drain.
- Half fill your container with Tui Strawberry Mix.
- Gently take the plant from the current container, loosen the root ball and remove any loose or dead plant material and roots.
- Position the plants in the new container and fill with Tui Strawberry Mix up to 3cm from the top.
- Gently firm the mix around the base of the plant. The mix should be at the same level on the plant as it was in the previous container.
- Water your plant well and continue to water regularly.
A good rule of thumb is to plant five strawberry plants for each member of the household.
Add a layer of Tui Strawberry Straw around plants to keep the fruit clean, and retain soil moisture.
