Grow Big Strawberries in a Raised Bed
To grow big strawberries in a raised bed, fill it with a loose mix of 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts potting soil, and 1 part compost at a depth of 6–12 inches. Plant crowns 12–18 inches apart to maximize root growth, and provide 1–2 inches of water weekly using drip irrigation. This method offers better drainage and warmer soil than in-ground plots, resulting in larger, healthier berries. Read the full article for the best varieties and pruning tips to boost your harvest.
