Strawberries Grow Easily in Kansas
Dr. Frank D. Morrison of Kansas State University explains that successful strawberry planting depends on fertile soil with at least two percent organic matter and good drainage. He recommends early spring soil prep, 10 10 10 fertilizer, chlorodane soil treatment, and choosing Sunrise Surecrop Redchief Armore Sparkle or Ogallala varieties. Plant in southeast Kansas around March 15 to 30 with 18 to 24 inch spacing and 48 inch rows, remove blossoms first season, and manage irrigation and weeds for strong runners.
