We don’t thin or separate our strawberry plants.Every other year we deep mulch our strawberry plants. We cover the entire bed with a very thick layer of leaves. We cover them so completely the plants aren’t even visible. The strong hardy plants push through the mulch layer in the spring for our new crop. We do this every other year instead of thinning and separating our plants.

Your strawberries are looking great.
Great job I wish I had the time to do that maybe when I retire. In about 10 more years lol God-bless
Wow! Those strawberry plants do look healthy and full! I hope you get a great harvest this year and that the squirrels and bugs do not get to them. Like you say, you may even get some from outside the fence! Amazing how good results can be when you put in the hard work to make that happen!!!
your plants look wonderful. It's still too cold here for them yet, but hopefully soon they will be blooming.
Oh wow, That is looking amazing, you are going to have a crazy amount of strawberries! You can make a nice harvest video in a little bit.
Wonderful looking strawberries! Your going to have a mess of them soon. Hope you have a great week! 🙂

Your strawberry plants are beautiful! Those blooms indicate a bumper crop. Do you freeze some or make jam when they all ripen near the same time? You have a nice garden. Hope you have a good day.
Beautiful strawberry patch, thanks for the tip on the mulching! Have a great day! ~Stephanie
Your strawberry plants look great, nice work there.
Wow!
Love what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
New to your channel..just wanted to say hi and can't wait to learn from you this spring/year!
Great method! When you say deep mulch, about how many inches of leaves do you cover them with in the fall?
you have a beautiful voice , thanks for the video
How many years have you been doing this?
I have a problem with roly-poly bugs eating my strawberries. Do you find that the leaf mulch attracts them? Also, how cool should it be before adding the mulch (I am using straw)? Thanks for the video.
how many years have you done that method and hows the progress today=? thanks for reporting
