  • When to feed strawberries

    Am i right in thinking you shouldnt feed your strawberries while their flowering and fruit forming.

    But i also thought feeding with high potash makes the fruit swell?

    Please advice

      Mine get the run off from the muck on the Rhubarb in Nov/Dec.

      I did feed the strawbs once, but only got loads of runners and not fruit.

        I feed my greenhouse ones with tomato feed once a week.

        Don't bother with garden ones: mulch in winter...

            I feed my container ones regularly right through until the fruits form.

                I over fed/showed a little kindness to strawberries two years ago then complained on this site that all I got was leaf. All said to treat 'em mean - which I did. Last year I got a bumper crop!
