Bedding the Strawberries
It's time to pamper your strawberries.
There's a reason they are called straw-berries. I have used mulch mats in the past but since locating the nearest animal feeds supplier I have been using straw. It's so much more - fun! Benefits: Suppresses weeds, warms the soil, retains moisture(!), reflects sunlight, discourages slugs, lifts the fruiting stalks off the ground... You know it makes sense.
Hmm.. Maybe I got a bit carried away.

A job we will soon need to get to grips with.
ReplyDeleteI never saw this before. But I was thinking to use some oak chipping.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a lot of pampering...we have never bothered with ours. They kind of just get left to their own devices.
