Planting strategy

Start from bare-root crowns or transplants rather than seed for faster, more reliable results. Plant with the crown level at soil surface — not buried, not exposed. Space plants to allow airflow and mulch with straw to keep berries clean and retain moisture. Remove early runners to direct energy into fruiting, or let some root to propagate new plants. Feed lightly with balanced fertilizer at planting and after harvest; plants are perennial and will produce for 2-3 years before vigor declines, after which replace with fresh runners.
