This book is a practical guide for those who want to grow strawberries in containers consistently and get a harvest throughout the season and almost continuously throughout the year. It is designed as a clear system, not a set of general tips, and shows how to manage plants in a limited space in such a way as to maximize their potential.
The book examines in detail all the key stages of container growing:
• selection of pots and substrate,
• planting,
• formation of a strong root system,
• management of watering and nutrition,
• control of light,
• methods of increasing the size of berries and the number of fruits.
Special attention is paid to remontant varieties and ways to organize fruiting waves for a stable harvest of berries without seasonal failures.
The reader will receive practical schemes for building their own “container farm” – from a few pots on the balcony to a scalable system with a predicted yield. Also considered are strategies for variety rotation, plant rejuvenation without loss of productivity, and methods for maintaining stable fruiting almost throughout the year.
