Strawberries will grow on nearly all kinds of soil. However, the crop makes strict demands on the structure of the soil. A proper soil hydrology and water management are very important. The soil should be suitable for due root penetration, whereas the subsoil water should range between 80 and 100 cm below ground level. The soil should be worked in time in order to let it settle well. On sandy soils use can be made of a furrow compactor, which allows of a far shorter period between ploughing and planting. Sometimes it is useful to loosen up the soil to a depth of 80 to 100cm. Each type of soil is different and consequently it is difficult to give some general advice. In order to prevent any mistakes and disappointments, the best thing to do is to call in an expert in advance. Besides, the soil should be free from eelworms. In case of doubt, it will be necessary to prove the necessity of disinfection by means of soil analysis.
