Technically this will work.

I have a habit of digging all vegetable scraps and leftover plant tops back into the ground where they can rot down and be reused the next season - bottom soil is turned over to the top.



In doing this for a few years now , I have managed to have about a dozen strawberry plants come up by themselves and they are all performing very well - the first fruiting season for them here is in about 8 months time so time will tell how good a plant they all become.



All I can do is wish you luck - just put the berries in and be patient - may not grow the first year and need to dry off and regrow from that the next year.



Good luck and keep the gardens growing - much better taste than the shop bought rubbish.
Reply:Technically the strawberry isnt a fruit at al. One of the trademarks of a fruit is that the seeds are on the inside. the reverse is for vegetables the seeds are on the outside. so technically the strawberry by definition is a vegetable and the tomatoe is a fruit. in either case if u bury either one it should produce a plant if the strawberry is taken from a healthy plant. now when is the part i aint sure of i know if u leave it unpicked the strawberry will get bigger and more sour. this maybe the time to remove it and try planting it. also i dont know if simply scraping the seeds from the outside of the strawberry would do the trick.
Reply:You can try, but it isn't likely to work. Alpine Strawberry can be grown from seed. Most other strawberry plants are grown by propagation - taking a cutting from a runner and replanting that.



My advice would be to buy a strawberry plant or two and plant it in goodly composted soil. After they are established, you can propagate them. Soon you'll have enough to start your own jelly and jam business.
