    Feeding strawberry plants

    I have been looking for something to feed my strawberry plants. They were on the plot when I took it over & I would like to give them a "boost" to maximise the fruit crop. If they are any good I will take a load of runners before deciding what to do with them. Can anybody please advise what I should be putting on them at this time of year.
    many thanks

    I have never fed my strawberries, and they always produce more fruit than I can eat

      I throw a few handfuls of chicken manure pellets around the strawberry bed when I remember in Spring, flighty1 - and like two sheds I usually get more than I can eat. However they don't crop for ever, so older plants should be replaced after about 3-4 years - not that I don't push my luck and keep them going if the plant looks healthy!
      Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

        Thanks folks. I will just throw a few poultry pellets at them when I next walk past them.
