Care Tips

• Soil: Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.8). Add compost for better drainage in heavy soils.

• Watering: Provide 1–1.5 inches of water weekly via drip irrigation to avoid fungal issues, especially in humid southern climates.

• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting. For Albion, fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks during its extended season.

• Pest Control: Slugs will be your main issue, use Sluggo, a certified organic treatment when you see them

• Heat Protection: Use shade cloth in summer (especially for Albion) to maintain cooler temps for optimal fruiting. Cover plants with frost cloth during rare freezes below 32°F.
