Those gardeners who carefully monitor the condition of their site are well aware that transplanting strawberries in the fall is as necessary a procedure as fertilizing and watering. The main thing is to always take into account the fact that this plant is not able to give a good harvest every year if it stays in one place for more than four years. Therefore, it is necessary to know after which crops garden strawberries can be planted, and after which it is undesirable to do so.
Useful precursors
Strawberries are not very demanding plants, but it is still important not only to decide in advance on the place where you will plant them, but also to worry about saturating the soil with nutrients. This crop is able to grow on almost any soil, but ideally the bed should contain about 2% humus. So, after what can you plant a plant when it stays in one place for four years? Acceptable precursors of garden strawberries include beetroot, chicory lettuce and lettuce.
But experts still recommend planting strawberries after onions, radishes, parsley, garlic, peas, beans, legumes, carrots, celery, dill, corn, green manure. If you plant strawberries after onions, garlic and other suitable crops in early autumn, then you can hope to harvest next summer. But even if you make a timely planting after such good predecessors as garlic, onions, dill, parsley and others, it must be borne in mind that one lives for about 20 years, and the maximum yield of berries falls on the first three years. 
It is more correct to say not to transplant, but to plant, since it is customary to plant one- or two-year-old plants in the fall, after dividing them into parts, or a whole pair that appeared on the mustache. What is it for? In order to carry out the rejuvenation of landings. Indeed, over a period of four years, pathogens accumulate inside the soil, and some strawberry pests also settle down. And the plants themselves become older over time, the number of flowers on them decreases, the yield drops. You can plant strawberries in spring, summer and autumn.
But it is in autumn that the weather is already quite cool, the earth is wet and still warm. Therefore, planting this crop in the fall is good, because it is able to take root and grow a normal-sized green outlet. Most seedlings that have taken root in the fall can be safely left to winter, because they will no longer be so afraid of frost. Before planting strawberries in the fall, special attention should be paid to clearing the land of weed rhizomes, since these harmful perennial crops tend to make weeding and care processes difficult in the future.
Harmful precursors
Caring for strawberries in the fall involves not only loosening and watering the soil, weeding and cultivating the site, as well as fertilizing with products containing nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Seven days before planting the plant in the ground, it is recommended to put the seedlings in a cool and humid room, as well as treat the root system with fungicides. 
After which crops it is permissible to plant strawberries in three or four years, we have already found out – these are onions, garlic and other plants. But after what landing is not desirable? Tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, cucumbers, cabbage, raspberries are considered bad predecessors. Why is it undesirable to plant strawberries after a crop like potatoes?
If you plant a plant in the place where potatoes used to grow, then strawberries can become infected with the larvae of the Colorado potato beetle, which previously lived on potatoes, or with wireworms. These pests, the appearance of which is typical for potatoes, can also cause irreparable harm to the yield of strawberries. The main problem that you may encounter if you plant strawberries after tomatoes, that is, a tomato, as in the case of potatoes, can turn out to be late blight.
Thus it turns out that tomatoes and potatoes have a common enemy that affects the soil. If we talk about tomatoes, then according to the rules of agricultural technology, they cannot also be grown after potatoes. Tomatoes in neutral soils, and if planted in the same place, you can expect tomatoes to turn the soil sour. That is why it is impossible to plant strawberries after well-known tomatoes. Experts also do not advise making not only potatoes and tomatoes, but also cucumbers and zucchini as predecessors of garden strawberries, since they should be planted in a new place every year. It is also not recommended to plant strawberries after sunflower, Jerusalem artichoke and all varieties of ranunculus.
What kind of soil is needed
We already know after which plants it is possible to plant garden strawberries, and after which crops it is undesirable and why. Another important point in planting this plant can rightfully be called the choice of soil. Preference should be given to sandy soil, as well as light or medium loamy, which has a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. 
Before you start planting, you can and should dig the ground onto the bayonet of a shovel and add humus, as well as peat, a mineral fertilizer without harmful chlorine. Planting holes are made at a distance of about 30 – 40 cm from each other, and two seedling bushes can be planted in one hole. Strawberries are planted deep enough to prevent freezing during the cold season of the plant in the place where the leaves depart from the rhizomes. After carefully planting garden strawberries in the ground, it must be watered.
How to choose a plot
An important point is also the choice of the right site on which strawberries will grow for the next four years. After it is dug out of the old site, the earth there needs to be dug up, fertilized with manure and planted with beans, which will help restore its normal condition and contribute to a good harvest in the future. 
The new site must be on the sunny side, and the land must be fertile and well-groomed.
To achieve the appearance of large and juicy berries, many experienced gardeners fertilize a piece of land with ash.
In order for the transplanted bushes to take root and quickly take root in the spring, before planting, you need to pay attention to the fact that the bush has several leaves, and the roots should be at least 10 cm long. If you do everything right, then your strawberries will certainly thank their the owner of a rich harvest.
