Planting:

Choose a location with well-draining soil, full sun, and away from any wild strawberries to avoid the spread of disease.
Prepare the soil by removing weeds, grass, and debris, then amend with organic matter such as compost or peat moss.
Dig a hole for each plant, making sure the depth of the hole is the same as the height of the root ball.
Remove the plant from its container and loosen any tangled roots. Place the plant in the hole and backfill with soil.
Water thoroughly to settle soil around the roots.
Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Care:

Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilize in early spring and mid-summer with a balanced fertilizer.
Remove any runners (offsets) that form to encourage the plants to produce more fruit and to prevent overcrowding.
Apply a fresh layer of mulch each year to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Monitor for pests and diseases and treat promptly if necessary.

Note: Strawberry bushes are perennials and will produce fruit for several years. It's a good idea to replace them every three to four years to maintain their productivity and health.
