Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your 24-pack, follow these guidelines for setup and long-term maintenance:
- Preparation: Soak the roots in a bucket of tepid water for about 30 minutes before planting to rehydrate them.
- Planting: Dig a hole wide enough for the root system to spread out. Position the plant so the crown sits just above the soil line; burying the crown too deeply can cause it to rot.
- Soil/Compost: Ensure the medium is rich in organic matter and offers excellent drainage.
- Placement: Choose a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Maintenance: Water regularly during dry spells. Mulch around the base with straw to keep fruit off the soil, which helps prevent rot and keeps the berries clean.
