2. What is the best way to plant bare root strawberry plants?
   Soak the roots in water for about an hour before planting. Plant them in well-drained soil with the crown (where the roots meet the stem) at soil level. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart.
3. How much sunlight do strawberry plants need?
   Strawberry plants need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day to produce a good crop of berries.
4. What type of fertilizer should I use for my strawberry plants?
   Use a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.
5. How often should I water my strawberry plants?
   Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
