WANTED: info on strawberry cultivation

[Jean Heffernan]

I am an amateur gardner and I would like to begin my own strawberry
patch. I would like information on how to begin.

Is it necessary to pinch the blossoms the first year? and if yes, why?

How far apart should I set the plants?

Is there any particular fertilizer I should use?

How do I control insects without using insecticide?
