Depends on your latitude. If the sun is low on the horizon much of
the year,
yes, it would help to rotate.
However, if the sun is high in the sky most of the year, plants will
probably
get enough sun.
Personally, I rotate periodically on general principles, including
inside plants.
Rotation-wise, would help to put your strawberry planter on a wheeled
base.
Good luck.

Our general idea is to rotate when we see a leaning towards the sun or
light. Do this with started seeds and especially with house plants.

Rotation-wise must be clockwise-wise in the northern hemisphere and
anti-clockwise-wise in the southern hemisphere. At the equator alternate
your wise, that is clockwisewise, anticlockwisewise, clockyantwise, oh I
forget the rest but keep em moving
