AAC Dynamic Strawberry - Everbearing

Planting Instructions

• Select the Right Location

  • Sunlight: Choose a site that gets full sun (6–8 hours daily).
  • Soil: Ensure well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Avoid heavy clay unless amended with organic matter for drainage.

• Prepare the Soil

  • Remove weeds and debris from the planting area.
  • Work in well-rotted compost or aged manure to improve soil fertility and drainage.

• Planting Time

  • Plant in early spring, as soon as the soil is workable. Day-neutral strawberries like AAC Dynamik will begin producing fruit the same year.

• Spacing and Planting

  • Spacing: Plant 12–18 inches apart in rows 2–3 feet apart.
  • Planting Depth: Position the crown (where leaves meet roots) at soil level. Burying the crown too deep can cause rot, while planting too shallow can dry out the roots.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

• Mulching

  • Apply a 2–3 inch layer of straw or wood chip mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep fruit clean.

Care Instructions

• Watering

  • Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruiting.
  • Aim for 1–1.5 inches of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk; drip irrigation works best.

• Fertilizing

  • Fertilize at planting with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10).
  • Apply additional fertilizer mid-season to support continuous fruiting. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage and reduced fruit production.

• Pruning and Runners

  • Remove runners (long stems that create new plants) during the first year to focus the plant’s energy on fruit production.
  • In subsequent years, allow a few runners to propagate if you’re expanding your strawberry patch.

• Weeding

  • Regularly remove weeds by hand or with a hoe to prevent competition for nutrients.

• Pest and Disease Management

  • Keep plants well-spaced to promote airflow and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
  • Monitor for pests like aphids, slugs, and spider mites. Use organic methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.

Harvesting

• Timing:

  • Pick strawberries when they are fully red, firm, and fragrant. Day-neutral plants like AAC Dynamik will produce fruit from late spring to fall.

• Harvesting Method:

  • Gently twist or snip the berry off the stem to avoid damaging the plant.

• Post-Harvest:

  • Harvest daily during peak season to avoid overripe or spoiled fruit.

Winter Care

• Protect the Plants:

  • After the first frost, apply a thick layer of straw mulch (4–6 inches) over the plants to protect them from freezing temperatures.

• Spring Removal:

  • Remove the mulch in early spring when new growth begins, leaving some around the plants to keep weeds at bay.

With these planting and care steps, your AAC Dynamik Strawberry Plants will thrive, providing a delicious and bountiful harvest season after season.
