What kind of soil do Evie Everbearing Strawberries require?

I used miracle grow potting mix with berry fertilizer. I grew mine in deck rail planters.. Worked great.. watering them every other day and keeping them happy.. I got huge berries.

I don't know the sientific answer to your question but we planted ours in homemade compost and they are doing fine. They haven't produced many berries but the plants look healthy.

A year ago, I just pulled out the weeds that were in a silo foundation, added in some top soil and some sand and a couple small bags of potting soil and then planted my strawberry plants. We were still picking strawberries in October and I had a ton of runners on the plants that I cut off the plants and started another plot in my front yard. I mulched them just before winter and they are all coming back up right now and growing great. Getting another bed started soon with some of all the new runners. I also learned that wild rabbits love to eat them so it will be a raised bed this time.

I have used the flora trio in soil grows despite the claim its designed for hydroponics. I am not familiar with an aerogarden. If you are indeed growing only herbs I don't see the need for all three, but veggies do flower and the trio has a veg , flower, and finishing component. Fox farms makes quality chems as well as Advanced Nutrition. Both are available on here.

I have never grown blueberries, so I have no direct knowledge. This is essentially pure nitrogen which will give most plants a lot of plant growth which may be at the expense of fruit production.

I don't remember how much soil I used and no I didn't mix it with coconut coir. My guess on the soil was about half of a 2 cubic bag of patio plus from Kellogg's and some composte I make. I planted strawberries in it.

I bought these seeds and put mine in full sun all summer and they did great. Don't put them in a shaded spot, as they need plenty of sun for photosynthesis. You can pick a spot that is shaded part of the day, but you want them in sun all day or most of the day. They won't grow very well if they don't get enough sunlight. You want to make sure you don't over water, or the roots will start to rot. Strawberries are very susceptible to this. Other than that, just follow the directions on the back of the seed packet.

Whatever you can find, as long as it's organic potting soil. There was not a good selection at Home Depot or anywhere else where I live. The only one I could find was Miracle Grow organic "POTTING" soil. And, BTW, the Earthbox is the box you want. The grow box is ok but not as nice as the Earthbox. The grow box comes apart when you try to move it. It's a real pain in A**.

I'm not sure, but I would suggest using Organic Compost, that really is that best. Home Depot has that, Lowes is out of it right now. Organic compost is ideal for berry plants, and also it stops from root rot. Lots of water and sun. I believe it can be done, the bigger the plant, the more chance of it.

sandy soil is preferred......one inch rain a week is needed(water) but do not over water or trunk will rot..plant near windows as they have strong fragrance and u will enjoy on breezy days....for cloning use rockwool plugs(google or Amazon "rockwool")....lol.............."The Toad".............Out....

I've never used it for strawberries but it gets most of dandelion roots in hard ground. I've dug out Holly bush roots with this weeder and a shovel. It's strong enough of a metal and won't bend.

They are coated with something, mine were planted this april and are now blooming. The inoculant is to promote nitrogen fixation, and the ground likely already has this type of bacteria already.

Yes, blueberries are acid loving plants and Ammonium Sulfate would lower your soil pH level to help make your soil more suitable for blueberries.

I purchased a crepe myrtle and it seems to great in my alkaline soil. I'm assuming it should thrive in most soils and is tolerant in harsh conditions as long as its watered a lot when its a small plant.

I have planted all three! Tomatoes and strawberries did well (I live in Georgia) but my peppers were puny. You will want to build a cover over the strawberry section or the birds will eat them all.

Yes I believe it will work. I haven't used it for that purpose but other plants with similar growth patterns.....the lateral growth of strawberries certainly takes more effort and just a little practice with this weeder.

Yes, contact your county agriculture agent. For a small fee they will test your soil. Look them up on line and they will explain what you need to do..

You can use this soil for desert rose plants. They prefer good drainage so you might want to mix in a little more sand into the soil to make the mix coarser so that it will drain faster.
