Every single strawberry is the result of lots of care and work. Fortunately I know to appreciate the work involved in strawberries. I was lucky enough to grow up in a small strawberry plantation my pa rents started to get some additional income in addition to all other farming products.
We all know from where strawberries come ... from the supermarket shelves. We also know who does all the work ... we hire cheap foreign labor willing to work for less than 5$ per hour because the work is too hard and too low paying for us ...
Wrong!
It is time to learn to do such jobs ourselves. No matter how little it pays.
Strawberry farming is a year long work of caring for your strawberry fields, for each plant and each fruit.
Many ways to grow strawberries - artificial, chemical / plastic methods and organic natural methods. The coming pictures will show you how to grow strawberry plants and berries.

Mixed culture in combination with flowers and vegetables is easier to keep healthy. Here we see a partial mixed culture. One small field of flowers, next small field with salad or vegetable in combination with small strawberry fields.
Compared to the previous 2 large strawberry mono culture fields this photo shows a much better solution. The more you mix different plants, the less fertilizer, less herbicide and pesticide you will need.
Ideal however would be a real mix, just as in jungle or wild forest / natural fields. Side by side flowers and berries with salads, beautiful green grass and vegetables. Just as in God made nature!
All the photos shown here are from the same location - Trinidad, outside Baguio City. Different strawberry field owners try different methods. Most use plentiful of chemicals every few days! A few only experiment with alternate methods of organic farming.
