A guide to choosing the right size

Blackmoor Nursery is one of very few Nurseries in the UK offering gardeners the opportunity to buy Strawberry plants direct from our Nursery.  

All orders are despatched in one delivery. If your order contains both bare root and container grown plants then we can only despatch when all plants are ready.

Plant Health Passport Scheme - All plants are Elite and A Certified Stocks.

Space the plants 40cm (16in) apart. Water well. It’s a good idea to mulch around the plants with a thick layer of well-rotted manure, planting mats, compost or straw (some gardeners grow their plants through black polythene). This impenetrable layer will prevent weeds from growing and competing with the plants. We prefer the bed mats made from Mypex. It will also keep the soil moist so you won’t have to water the plants as often, and prevent soil splashing on the fruit. Strawberries are the most popular soft fruit for growing at home.

Planting considerations. When preparing pots for planting strawberries, use soil less composts or those with a low loam content, as these weigh less and make heavy containers such as large terracotta strawberry pots more portable. Strawberries like well-drained soil that is rich in humus, so dig in lots of compost or manure. They prefer to be planted in full sun, and sheltered from the wind.

Your order will then be ready for you to collect during our normal opening hours which are Monday-Friday 07.30-16.30. Our plants are grown in fields that can be 2 miles away from our office so it is not possible to just turn up and select your own trees.

The lower postal rates range from £2.80 - £5.70, will be applied to smaller orders of the lighter plants like currants, raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, asparagus and strawberries although larger orders will go into the £10.00 rate.

Purchased Mypex Planting Bed Mat last summer through Blackmoor and can't rate the product high enough. The strawberries have thrived since being planted through this. Will be purchasing some more this year.

28 Mar 17 | Great quality and easy to use

I have been using this for my rhubarb plants. We're reclaiming a paddock for veggie growing and the grass has won for the past 4 years, quickly strangling any small plants that got in the way, despite clearing the ground! So I took a tip from Charles Dowding (No-dig gardening) and have planted my rhubarb plants in this strawberry matting this year. They are thriving. It went straight on top of the grass, once any perennial weeds were out, and is weighted down with some stones. The rhubarb is growing well, the black matting has been warming the soil. And I can already see the grass underneath is dying off. The grid on the matting makes spacing easier and the quality is good enough that it doesn't tear as you use it, unlike some others I have tried. Thank you Blackmoor!
