Strawberries Need Mulch To Protect Crowns
Special to The Gazette. URBANA N I LL Strawberries must be mulched soon to guard crowns from freezing temperatures that would cut next year’s yield. A S Colby of the University of Illinois advises wheat straw as best, applied about three inches deep before critical temps hit 18 degrees above zero. Mulch keeps buds from repeated freezing and thawing, preserves crown color, and prevents plant smothering from early cover.
