Maintaining a strawberry bed.

I do not have experience with growing strawberries in a hangin basket, but I always thought that was a neat idea. I can let you in on the little that I do know, though. :) Strawberry roots grow pretty shallow, so they need to be watered often. However, they do not like to have their roots standing in water, so they need to be soil that drains fairly well. Strawberries also need good fertalizer, but I have usually done that after they are done producing (mine are June bearers) and again in late fall. I have used purchased fertalizer specifically for strawberries and I have used regular farm manure. Both seem to work well for me. Hope this helps a little.
