Renovation tips for June bearing strawberries
An ISU Extension Hortist advises renovating June bearing strawberry beds this season. Narrow rows to 6 to 8 inches, remove old plants, thin to keep vigorous runners, and plant density of 5 to 7 per square foot by mid October. Apply complete fertilizer after renovation and lightly cultivate to encourage new runners and larger fruit next spring.
