About three weeks ago my wife and I planted our first strawberry pot. We used Miracle Gro potting mix that claims to feed plants for three months. Is this sufficient to fertilize the strawberries, or do I need to use something else? I've got some indoor plant fertilizer spikes. Would those work for the strawberries?
Thanks,

If the bag says it will feed the plants for three months, then that's all you should need. Personally, I wouldn't use potting mix with artificially derived nutrients because the plant does uptake those and we ingest them too.
If it were me, I'd just use liquid seaweed as a foliar spray in addition to the Miracle Grow prills in the mix.
