The soil air from the development of deep soil structure, combined with the microbe- and nutrient-rich compost allow the crops to be planted intensively. To plant intensively, beds are 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) wide, usually 5 ft (1.5 m) and at least 5 feet (1.5 m) long, often 20 feet (6 m), forming a bed of 100 square feet (10 m 2 ).

A sapric is a subtype of a histosol [1] where virtually all of the organic material has undergone sufficient decomposition to prevent the identification of plant parts and even fecal matter. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Muck is a sapric soil that is naturally waterlogged or is artificially drained.
Pineberries are smaller than a common strawberry, measuring between 15 and 23 mm (0.6 and 0.9 in). When ripe, they are almost completely white, but with red "seeds" . The plant is disease resistant and has small berry size and low yield. [37] [38] It is available in the spring and summer. Pink Panda (see ' Frel ') [2]
Farms in the system attempt to maintain a healthy level of biodiversity by creating natural forest buffers, practicing sustainable harvesting techniques and by minimizing land fragmentation. [20] Tree farm systems in each state are self-governing and all work under specific guidelines developed by the ATFS's National Operating Committee.
The fruit of the wild strawberry is smaller than that of the garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). Botanically, the fruit is classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, but it is commonly called a berry. [5] [1] Strawberries reproduce both sexually by seed, and asexually by runners .
Louisiana State University recommends 'Camino Real' for commercial production [7] for its large berries, good firmness, and high yield in the state's conditions. [8] In Louisiana this is a mid-season yielding variety. [8] In South Louisiana specifically, 'Camino Real' is June-bearing, and is recommended for commercial growers in this area. [9]
The plant's large leaves and horizontal growth provide additional shade and moisture retention. It does not compete with the beans for sunlight since the latter grow vertically on the stalks. Every few seasons, rotate the crop by grazing cattle, allowing grass to grow and adding soil organic matter and nutrients (manure).
