Instructions
Step 1
Organize year-round indoor strawberry cultivation. It is much more profitable because less land is needed and no dependence on weather conditions. Replace sunlight and heat with artificial lighting and heating.

Find any room for your plantation, from a few square meters, in which you can maintain room temperature all year round. It can be a garage, a barn, a non-living room.

Cultivate strawberries on special berry blocks. Make the base of the block a polyethylene bag with a substrate containing a mixture of peat and perlite. It should be small in diameter to accommodate more bags in the same area.
Step 5
Make planting holes (cuts) along the bag filled with substrate. Place the bags directly on the floor. If they turned out to be small in height and allow the conditions, make a second tier on top of the lower bags. Hang the upper bags on additional supports, plant the seedlings in them, as in the bags of the lower tier. Place the bags in rows - 2-3 pieces per 1 square meter of each tier.
Step 6
Build a homemade irrigation system to feed your seedlings. A nutrient solution will be fed to each bag through it. With the correct technology for caring for strawberries, small-fruited varieties yield 100-250 berries, and large-fruited ones - more than 700 berries per year from one bush. You can start with a small business of growing strawberries at home, but be prepared - you have every chance of getting a promising big business.
