Thanks for the tip 😉
Nice tip Huw. The use of straw to hold the strawberries off the dirt is actually why they are call strawberries. Using straw like this also gives you the added benefit of mulch.
I was wondering if that was where the 'straw' came from, thanks a lot and great tip!
Ouch that must be so many strawberries! What do you do with them all?
No problem and thanks for watching!
Yeah sure and I will make a video harvesting them! Thanks
I was wondering if I could use simply dries grass cuttings…thanx for answering my question! I will be sending you another video of my grape vine soon to show you how it is getting on…I think you will be surprised! x
Yeah you could and that would work just as well, try it out now before it gets too late! 🙂 Can't wait to see the progress of your grape vine!!!
Would this also be a good idea for summer squash which tends to lay on the ground
Yes it would work the same way! Thanks
is that straw or hay?
I mulched with wood chips. Didn't work. I mulched with grass cuttings. Didn't work.
IF YOU CAN GET IT, clean pine straw pine needles) is prime mulch for strawberries. Slugs HATE the rough texture. Planting a sacrifice crop of lettuce also helps reduce slug pressure.
