I planted a strawberry bed 4 years ago and have allowed it to get really overcrowded and is in a right mess - I'm in the process of improving the soil and replanting the younger offsets but wondered if other grapes have a more organised, annual method of maintaining their beds.

I had the same problem.
I have now vowed to remove all runners as and when they appear.
Also I will cut off all foliage before the cold weather starts.Last edited by fishpond; 18-02-2017, 02:16 PM.Feed the soil, not the plants.

If they are 4 years old, I'd pull them up & replace with runners.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

This sounds really sensible Bren - thanks for the idea.Originally posted by Bren In Pots View Post
Most of the offsets are only a year or two old(ish) but I think I will invest in some fresh ones.Originally posted by Bigmallly View PostComment
