What type of soil is best?

Well-draining soil is ideal. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter before planting.

How often should I water the plants?

Water generously, especially after planting. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Adjust watering based on weather conditions.

How do I protect the strawberries from pests?

Troubleshooting

Plant growth is slow after planting.

Ensure the plants are receiving adequate sunlight and water. Check for any pests or diseases and treat them accordingly.
