Strawberry weeding advice
Hi!
We have a small garden (approx. 10' x 20') in our back yard with some
strawberries in it. I'm in Southern California, and right now it's a
combination of weeds, dead grass, and green strawberry plants.
My question is, can I mow that area & not kill the strawberries?
Mowing is the easiest way to clear it out, but keeping those plants
healthy enough to produce fruit is of paramount importance. If it'll
harm them, we'll just have to dig in there & pull weeds.
Another complicating factor is that we've been experiencing a cold
snap (freezing at night) recently here in SoCal, so I'm wondering if
the tall grass is helping them withstand that. If so, I'll probably
leave the plants alone for a few weeks.
Thanks in advance.
