How far apart to plant strawberries

For June-bearing strawberries in a matted row, set plants 18 to 24 inches apart within the row and space the rows 36 to 48 inches apart.

The spacing: Matted row (June-bearing): plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row, rows 36 to 48 inches apart. Hill system (everbearing and day-neutral, also June-bearing): plants 18 inches apart in the row, rows 18 inches apart with every third row left unplanted as a walkway.

The matted row system is best suited for June-bearing cultivars.
The hill system is the best system for everbearing and day-neutral cultivars, though it can also be used with June-bearing types.
The hill system requires more intensive labor than the matted row system.
In the hill system, every third row is left unplanted to serve as a walkway.

Spacing varies by variety and layout; your local extension office is the closest authority.
