Product Information

Supermarket shoppers might be accustomed to watery, flavourless strawberries (no wonder given that they’ll have spent days in storage) but it’s hard to beat the flavour of a juicy, mouth-watering crop straight from the plot. Fortunately, they are one of the easiest and most reliable fruits to grow and ideal for raising either in the open ground or in containers on the terrace. Most strawberries produce a single crop between late May and late July and they are classified as early, mid or late season depending on when they ripen during this period. There are also perpetual varieties available, which can be used to extend the season by producing fruits from August to the first frosts.

Before planting it is important to ensure the ground is as free of perennial weeds as possible. Trying to remove them after planting often results in root damage to the strawberry plants. The incorporation of well-rotted organic matter into the soil a few weeks before planting will be beneficial, as will the application of a good quality, granular, general purpose fertiliser immediately prior to planting.These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community.

When planting up the container, mix in water-retaining gel to keep the compost moist. The plants need regular feeding when fruits start forming - a high-potash tomato liquid feed is best, applied weekly. Liquid comfrey makes an excellent free homemade alternative.

For strawberries planted in the open, once they are in the ground it’s essential to keep the area free from weeds and to make sure the soil doesn’t dry out, especially when the fruits are starting to swell. The plants should be given a dose of fertiliser in the spring and again after they have been rejuvenated, as well as being watered regularly (aim to keep the soil damp, but not saturated).

You could make your own sandpaper with sand cardboard and glue (or old paint, varnish &c.) -that's what I do for the antislip on boats and boards. I grow mine through permeable membrane -mainly because the bed wan't really ready when I planted them and haven't had any trouble with slugs -probably because they're all too busy eating the everything else in the bed (only the strawbs are membraned) Do not allow plant leaves to hang over the edge of the fabric as slugs and snails could move onto the plant without going onto the fabric Rear "Strawberry Milk" Coaster Car Mats Couture Decor Harajuku Barbie kawaii Queen Jeep Benz decor girl pink feminine Strawberry By William Morris Round Vinyl Mat, Red Vinyl Rug, Green Linoleum Rug, Ornament Vinyl Mat, PVC Mat, Decorative Mat, Comfort Mat

When using the mats, make sure to remove any slugs or snails from the plants and surrounding area before laying down the fabric. Also, ensure that the plants' leaves do not hang over the edge of the mat to prevent pests from bypassing the barrier. Keep the area clean by removing any debris such as soil and leaves, as this will help to maintain the effectiveness of the barrier.

I have got straw under my strawberries, but I am not happy with it, as it is such an arbour for slugs which can't be seen. In fact I think it attracts them - a nice comfy cosy little nest for them.

I've been thinking of something along similar lines to keep the slugs away from my plants. I had a similar idea in mind but was trying to find a "material" with a rough surface, something like coarse sandpaper but obviously that would be too expensive.
