Organic strawberries are really easy to grow. They just require to be allocated a small or large space with abundant fertile soil under sufficient sunny conditions. The fruit does very well with at least six hours of sun daily.
The first thing is to choose an ideal site that has organic soil rich in minerals and minimally acidic. Weeds and other foreign matter are removed before applying small amounts of compost that is dug only a few inches into the soil surface. The site should be raised a little to allow drainage.
The planting involves the digging of small holes in which the larger part of the plant is under the soil. The site around the plant can then be strewn with compost, straw and other organic materials. The place should be watered regularly and fertilized one time in a month using blood and bone meal before they are ready to yield fruit in a few months.
