Every
year we plan to invest and plant more strawberry plants.
Strawberries are a vigorious plant and
take a lot of nutrients away from the soil. New strawberry plants do not like to be planted on the same ground
from which other strawberry plants have just been ploughed up from.
It is important that the soil is of the
best quality that it can be before planting. We use traditional crop rotation in order to replenish the soil along
with using our sheep to grazing the land, naturally replinishing the soil with nitrogen. We will leave land
as grazing for as long as possible but a minimum of seven years before planning on planting on the same area.
Usually after the fourth year of the plant first producing a crop we will plough the strawberries up. The
plants after this time can lack in quality and yield.
