How Jockeys Earn Money. The average jockey may earn between $30 and $100 per race, depending on the track. A jockey may ride in several races in an afternoon.

The variety of the strawberry plant determines its lifespan, although a properly cared for plant can produce for up to three or four years. June-bearing varieties require annual rejuvenation to remain productive for more than one season.

Strawberries need at least six hours of direct sun daily, regular irrigation and slightly acidic soil. The acidity or alkalinity of soil is described in pH units.
