Strawberries are adaptable plants and grow throughout the United States. The secret is choosing a variety well-suited to your area, because some strawberries thrive in cold climates, while others prefer mild, warm weather. Plant container strawberries if the weather in your region is unpredictable.
Strawberries prefer acidic soils with a pH between 5.8 and 6.2. Pine straw mulch is ideal for maintaining this soil acidity so that your plants can thrive. If your soil has a pH over 7.0, the application of pine straw mulch can help lower the pH of the surface soil to the acidic level your strawberry plant requires. Strawberry plants need well-drained soil in order to thrive.
