hello charles hope all is well in the garden.
i have a strawberry question. after cropping and taking runners for new plants i sheared them back. they have now regrown into huge leafy masses with lots of runners. is it ok to chop back again
Yes it has been a good summer in this area for growing leaves, but leave them now as these leaves are still feeding the crown of roots, except for pinching off runners to prevent new plants rooting
I just wanted to check if I should tidy up and remove the old leaves,runners and decaying fruit before applying a top dressing of compost/manure? Would the decaying matter break down and become a food source for the worms?
Thank you
Sahira
Hmmm up to you….
in my plot I would, to keep slug numbers down and remove any rooted runners.
Lovely to find a question which has just been posted and answered that was concerning me aswell – re strawberry leaves..
Hi Sarah
This forum puzzles me sometimes, it looks like you are referring to the question above but it was posted in September, so I think you must mean the recent question below! i.e. tidying yellow leaves, a good plan, leaving the green ones.
