Renovating a Strawberry Patch After Harvest
After harvest a strawberry patch that has borne one crop should be renovated by plowing out plants on one or both sides of the row to create a four inch wide strip. Cultivation, cross-cultivation with spike-toothed harrow, and careful bed formation encourage new runner plants 12 to 16 inches wide by fall. Continued cultivation governs width until growth stops. Generally not profitable for commercial patches after two crops. home patches may yield three to four under favorable conditions.

Production of Combs Is Big Asset for Beekeeper
A good stock of drawn combs is the most valuable asset for a beekeeper, especially for producers of extracted honey. New combs drawn during a wood season help store scarce nectar, replace damaged combs, and are considered high quality when straight with few drone cells and firmly wired in the Langstroth frame. To produce such combs, lightly wire No. 28 tinned wire across full-depth frames with at least four horizontal wires. When extracting, remove honey from one side, reverse the comb, and finish on the other side to prevent center cracks.
