Any soil that will produce vegetables or common farm crops also will
produce strawberries. However, old timothy sod should be avoided on
account of white grubs. The kind of soil you have is not so important as
what is put into the soil, the manner in which it is prepared, and the
cultural methods followed. The soil is nothing more than the home where
the plants live. It is the feeding and care which they receive that
encourages their growth and productiveness. Strawberries thrive in high
and low altitudes and in all soils and climates therefore instead of
seeking better soil, improve your own soil by following the instructions
given in this book.
