French strawberry cultivation...not as we know it!

Having plucked up the courage to order some Strawberry plants from France that I couldn't get elsewhere, I tried translating the cultivation advice via online google translation.....not at all sure all of it has been done correctly, but it did make me laugh! ;D

Culture of Strawberry
   
Available by bunch of 25 plants, crashing upon receipt tilled ground and smoked, plate of 3 rows (1.20 m width), all 30/40 cm line. A reception, ignore the appearance of the foliage that you must remove the planting until the plant is not rooted, it can not support the survival of the leaves. The strength of the plant is concentrated in the neck.  Before planting, soak the plants a few hours and shorter roots. The plants should be planted to the neck, taking care not to curl the roots then bounded (pack the soil around the neck) and then a good watering to join the land to the roots. Watering copiously until recovery.  Binages frequently to keep the soil or own culture on film noir.  Remove runners (flowing). A plate is renewed every 3 years, but be sure to provide regular fertilizer special strawberry. For an optimal return in the fall of the plants we deliver "fresh" and spring planting "refrigerator".

'...to keep the soil or own culture on film noir.'. Fantastic! Barbara Stanwyck and Humprey Bogart should appear any moment. Or perhaps, Jean Gabin... :D
Also, I love 'a good watering to join the land to the roots.'.

Joining the land to the roots! That's what it's all about!

That's if they survive 'crashing upon receipt tilled ground and smoked' !

I did manage to fathom that 'binages' is hoeing!
