Soils
Any soil that will produce vegetables or common farm crops also will produce strawberries. However, old timothy sod should be avoided on account of white grubs. The kind of soil you have is not so important as what is put into the soil, the manner in which it is prepared, and the cultural methods followed. The soil is nothing more than the home where the plants live. It is the feeding and care which they receive that encourages their growth and productiveness. Strawberries thrive in high and low altitudes and in all soils and climates therefore instead of seeking better soil, improve your own soil by following the instructions given in this book.
