Question:

What would be a good planting site for strawberries?

Answer:

When selecting a planting site, choose an area that receives full sun and has a well-drained soil.  Planting sites should receive at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.  Leaf and root diseases are often problems in poorly drained, wet soils.  Do not plant in areas that are heavily infested with perennial weeds.  Perennial weeds, such as quackgrass, are extremely difficult to control in a strawberry planting.  Also, avoid sites where strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers have been grown within the last two years to prevent possible root disease problems.
