Default Strawberry question

"Gary Poston" wrote in message

Hi Everyone
On digging my allotment today and general tidying up, I noticed that some

of
my strawberry leaves have become old and brown, what I would like to know
is, Do I cut off all the old leaves so this would encourage new growth?

Thanks in advance

Gary



It won't make a lot of immediate difference to the plant but if you can be
bothered to cut them off, it will help with prevention of pests and disease
by letting the air circulate better and giving slugs less places to hide
