Renewing the Strawberry Bed Plan from Local Growers
A practical renewal method for strawberry beds is to turn back furrows every five to six feet, leaving narrow strips between rows for careful hoeing and thinning. Maintain about twelve inches between plants, harvest first, then cultivate, replace roots with manure, and mulch after planting. In autumn, mow and plow shallow, increase plant density, keep rows wide enough for pickers, and ensure cleanliness to prevent heaving. Strong growers may plant densely and thin later. winter mulch with straw or stalks protects roots and reduces weeds while preserving fruit cleanliness. Cor. Oluo Farmer.
